In an experiment, what is an independent variable? 1. the variable that will always prove a hypothesis correct

2. it is the group designed for comparison in the experiment

3. the variable that responds to what the scientist changes in an experiment

4. the variable a scientist purposely changes in an experiment

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.

it was spontaneous.

"ain't i a woman? " is the name given to a speech, delivered extemporaneously, by sojourner truth, (1797–1883), born into slavery in new york state.sojourner truth' delivered her famous speech "ain't i a woman? " (which did not have a title at that moment) was given without any previous preparation. her dissertation took place at the women's convention in akron, ohio, in 1851.
