They place three thermometers in the sunlight and cover each of them with a sheet of paper (one black, one white and one with cellophane). They leave the sheets of paper in the same area, each with the same amount of sunlight for exactly 20 minutes. At the end of the experiment, they check the thermometer readings to see which sheet of paper is the “hottest” and which is the “coolest.” 3a. Identify the “independent variable” in this experiment.

Sulfuric acid (a component of acid rain) reacts with limestone (calcium carbonate) to produce calcium sulfate and carbon dioxide. this damages buildings and statues made of limestone. which solution of sulfuric acid will damage these structures more quickly? a. 0.001% b. 0.005% c. 0.010% d. 0.015%

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.

Need ! asap will mark 10 pts using the room temperature line (orange line) and your periodic table, make lists that identify the state of matter (gas, liquid, or solid) in which each element you plotted exists at room temperature. explain your answers
