Maggie loves fresh brownies, and her grandma told her if she places a piece of bread in the storage container with the brownies, the brownies will stay fresh and moist longer. Maggie decides to test this idea. She bakes a batch of Betty Crocker brownies. She places 6 brownies in 6 individual tupperware containers. Each brownie is the same size and placed in the same location. She adds a piece of bread to three of the brownie containers, and leaves the other three alone. Each day for three weeks she measures the moistness of the brownies and records her results. What is the independent variable? What is the dependant variable? What are the constants? Hypothesis? What are the control groups? What is the experimental group?

Independent variable - Piece of bread

Dependant variable - Moistness of brownie

Constants- Same size and location of brownie

Hypothesis - IF a piece of bread is added to a brownie container, THEN the brownie will be moister

Control groups- The set of brownie containers she adds no piece of bread to

Experimental group- The set of brownie containers she adds a piece of bread to

Explanation:

The hypothesis in an experiment is a testable explanation to a given problem, which is whether a piece of bread can make brownie moist in this question. Hence, a possible hypothesis will be: IF a piece of bread is added to a brownie container, THEN the brownie will be moister

Independent variable is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in the experiment. In this case, the independent variable is the PIECE OF BREAD added to the brownie.

The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured in an experiment. The dependent variable in this case is the MOISTNESS of the brownie

Constants are variables that the experimenter keeps unchanged for all the groups throughout the experiment. In this case, the constants are SAME SIZE AND LOCATION OF BROWNIE.

Control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment or independent variable while the experimental group is the group that receives the experimental treatment. The control group in this experiment is: The set of brownie containers she adds no piece of bread to, while the experimental group is the: The set of brownie containers she adds a piece of bread to

the answer

explanation:

the capillary tube was too close to the bottom of the beaker.

the ruler may have moved.

water got into the capillary tube.

the temperature was not allowed to equilibrate in the 2-4 minutes.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
