- Scientists are interested in investigating how limestone can be used to remediate the effects of acid rain. They collect water from a lake that has recently been exposed to acid rain. They divide the water into 10 different tanks and add different amounts of limestone to nine of the tanks. No limestone is added to one of the tanks. The pH of the water in the tanks is measured before the limestone is added and once every hour for 24 hours. (f) Identify the independent variable in this investigation. (g) Identify the dependent variable in this investigation. (h) Identify the control group in this investigation. (i) Describe one additional variable that has not been mentioned that could affect the results of the investigation. (G) Describe a modification that could be made to the investigation that would affect the results.arrow_forwardYou might have noticed that in space exploration, attention is often focused on the presence or absence of water on other planets.

- Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid. Because many living organisms require oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems (streams, lakes, rivers, etc.) to support aquatic life. Dissolved oxygen is measured in units of ppm (parts per million). Examine the data in Table 4, which shows the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water from which the sample was taken. Dissolved Oxygen (ppm) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 Number of Fish Observed 0 1 3 10 12 13 15 10 12 13 What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 4?
