Study Notes
Salt and water relationship
- The mass of salt dissolved increases as the volume of water increases.
- The mass of salt reached a maximum at 100 cm³ of water.
Line of best fit
- A line of best fit represents the general trend in the data and can be used to predict values.
Independent variables
- Independent variable: the variable that is changed in an experiment (In the investigation, the amount of salt dissolved is the independent variable.)
- Dependent variable: the variable that is measured in an experiment
- Control variable: a variable that is kept constant throughout an experiment
Human Respiratory System Experiment
- Researchers collected results from several hundred men and women to ensure that the results were statistically significant and representative of the population.
- The mean volume of air pushed out for women in the 20-29 age group is 3.0 dm³.
- The mean volume of air pushed out for men in the 40-49 age group is 4.2 dm³.
- The mean volume of air that can be pushed out by women generally decreases with age.
- The predicted mean volume of air that can be pushed out by men aged 70-79 is 3.5 dm³.
A missing piece of apparatus
- A spirometer is missing from Sofia’s experiment setup as this is used to measure the volume of air a person can breathe in or out.
Red Blood Cell Counts in Rats
- The independent variable in the experiment involving the rats was altitude.
- The red blood cell count increased for rats at sea level between day 1 and day 20.
- Two variables that should have been controlled are:
- The diet of the rats
- The activity levels of the rats
- Solute: refers to the substance that dissolves in a solution.
- The increase in red blood cell count for the rats at high altitude from day 1 to day 20 is 3.5 million cells per microliter.
- The mean rate of increase in red blood cell count for the rats at high altitude is 0.175 million cells per microliter per day.
- After the rats at high altitude were taken down to sea level, their red blood cell count is predicted to decrease over time as they acclimatize to the lower altitude.
