Wspólne informacje do wiązki zadań
The Salton Sea is a large saline lake in the Colorado Desert, California, USA, whose surface lies below sea level. Its water level has been falling markedly over the last few decades.
Polecenie
(c) A simple set-up was used to compare the conductivity of water samples obtained from the Salton Sea at different depths.
PowiększThe following data were obtained:
| Depth water sample was obtained from / m (±0.05 m) | Electric current recorded by the ammeter / A (±0.01 A) |
|---|---|
| 4.00 | 2.65 |
| 8.00 | 2.72 |
| 12.00 | 3.06 |
| 16.00 | 3.11 |
| 20.00 | 3.15 |
(i) State the independent and the dependent variable in this experiment.
(ii) Suggest two variables, besides temperature, that must be controlled to make a fair comparison of the conductivity of the samples.
(iii) Calculate the fractional uncertainty in the electric current at a depth of 4.00 m. State your answer to the appropriate number of significant figures.
(iv) Suggest a conclusion for the experiment, with an explanation.

Odpowiedź z klucza
(i) independent variable: the depth from which the water sample was obtained ✔
dependent variable: the electric current recorded by the ammeter/the conductivity of the sample ✔
(ii) Any two of:
the potential difference (voltage) of the DC power source ✔
the distance between the two graphite electrodes ✔
the surface area of the electrodes in contact with the sample ✔
the depth to which the electrodes are immersed in the water ✔
(iii) 0.004 «1 significant figure, matching the absolute uncertainty» ✔
(iv) conclusion: as the depth increases, the electric current/conductivity increases ✔
explanation: the water deeper in the lake contains a higher concentration of dissolved ions/salts «the denser, saltier brine settles towards the bottom» ✔
Schemat punktowania
(i) [1] for each variable; accept 'conductivity' or 'reading on the ammeter' for the dependent variable. (ii) [1] each for two different variables from the list; apply the list principle. Accept volume of water/solution, resistance, diameter or length of the wires, cleanliness of the electrode surfaces. 'The water sample' alone is too vague to credit. (iii) [1] for 0.004 «1 significant figure». (iv) M1: the conclusion that the current/conductivity increases with depth; M2: an explanation in terms of a higher concentration of dissolved ions deeper in the lake, consistent with the direction of the trend.
