Question
A student carries out an experiment to determine the volume of 2 M sodium hydroxide needed to neutralise a known volume of 2 M hydrochloric acid.As different volumes of sodium hydroxide are added, the student uses a thermometer to measure the initial and final temperature. The change in temperature is then calculated.Which of the following options correctly identifies the variables in this investigation?I DON'T KNOWSUBMIT ANSWER
Solution
In this experiment, the variables can be identified as follows:
-
Independent Variable: The volume of 2 M sodium hydroxide. This is what the student is changing in the experiment.
-
Dependent Variable: The change in temperature. This is what the student is measuring in response to the changes in the volume of sodium hydroxide.
-
Controlled Variables: The volume of 2 M hydrochloric acid, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, and the conditions under which the experiment is conducted (like room temperature, pressure, etc.). These are the factors that the student is keeping constant to ensure a fair test.
