1. ReShayla was making pancakes and decided that she wanted hot syrup on her pancakes. As she poured the syrup into a bowl, it came out slowly. After she heated it in the
microwave for a few seconds, she poured the syrup onto her pancakes and it came out
quickly. Why did the syrup come out quicker after she warmed it up?
a. Its surface tension decreased because the radiation from the microwave broke the
intermolecular forces it had.
b. The radiation from the microwave increased its viscosity by breaking the syrup's
intermolecular forces.
c. Its surface tension increased because the radiation from the microwave broke the
intermolecular forces it had.
d. The radiation from the microwave decreased its viscosity by breaking the syrup's
intermolecular forces.

Answer: abeexplanation:

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.

The correct answer is b) false

It could possibly be beneficial if the experiment is successful.

Answer    "a salt" would be the best answerexplanationsalts can be defined as ionic compounds that are neither acids nor bases. nacl is an example of a salt, and its ionic.an enzyme is an organic compound which is covalently bonded, not ionically bonded.acids are generally held together by covalent bondsan element does not need any bonds to exist
