S14 CONTROLSA fair test is not possible if there are too many control variables.
A control experiment is the same as a fair test, but you include a control or a control group. The control uses exactly the same set-up as the main part of the experiment, but without the independent variable.
Controls are used when investigating living things because organisms vary so much. The organisms are divided into groups, making sure that the groups are as similar to each other as possible. The independent variable is changed for each group, but one group is a control. The results from the control make it easier to see if changes are due to the independent variable only.
1 Which of the following investigations could not use a fair test?
A The current in a circuit when the number of bulbs is changed.
B The effect of an antacid on an acid. C The effect of an antacid on reducing the
effects of heartburn in someone. D The effect on Arctic foxes of increasing the
average temperature.
2 How is a control experiment different from a fair test?
3 a Look at the experiment on page 18, in S13. Suggest a control.
b Would you not use a control experiment in this case? Explain your reasoning.
4 A drug company wants to fi nd out if its new drug for headaches is better than the standard drugs. Explain how the trial would be carried out.

Figure A: Huge numbers of control variables (e.g. sex, age, ethnic background, weight, height in humans) mean that you can’t use fair tests.
Figure B: Controls are used in drug tests. The control shows whether it is the drug having an effect, or something else.

S13 VARIABLES AND FAIR TESTSA variable is something that can change. It is sometimes called a factor.
In an investigation, you select values for one variable and measure what happens to another. The variable that you change is the independent variable. The variable that you measure is the dependent variable. The dependent variable depends on the independent variable.
A control variable or fi xed variable is another factor that can affect the dependent variable. You have to try to stop any control variables changing. When planning an investigation you list all the control variables and decide how to stop them changing.
In a fair test the only thing that changes the dependent variable is the independent variable. You need to:
identify the independent variableidentify the dependent variablestop the control variables changing.
1 John dissolves different amounts of salt in several 100 cm3 samples of water. He fi nds the boiling point of each solution, using the same heating apparatus and thermometer. Identify the different variables.
2 Here are some scientifi c questions: i Does the amount of light affect the number
of blowfl y maggots found in an area? ii Are some antacids better than others at
neutralising acids? iii Do bigger magnets pick up more paper
clips than small ones do?
a For each investigation select the independent, dependent and control variables.
b Explain how one control variable in each investigation could cause problems.
QUESTIONS
explain how different variables affect one another

C1i.3b The electrolysis of sodium chloride solution
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte and so it will allow an electric current to pass through it when in solution. It will also be broken down by this electric current. In this experiment you will be able to predict the products of the electrolysis and then test your predictions.
Apparatus
electrolysis cell with carbon electrodes
power supply 6 V DC
electrical leads, crocodile clips
sodium chloride solution
eye protection
SAFETY INFORMATION Wear eye protection.
Do not run for a long time, otherwise a lot of chlorine gas will be evolved.
Method
1. Put on your eye protection.
2. Using the apparatus shown carefully fill the electrolysis cell about two-third full with sodium chloride solution.
3. Fill the ignition tubes with sodium chloride solution and carefully invert them over the carbon electrodes.
4. Connect the circuit and record your observations.
Make observations and measurements
1. Record your observations in the table below:
edohtac eht ta snoitavresbO edona eht ta snoitavresbO
Analyse and interpret data
1. The ion that is discharged at the cathode will have what charge? What do you think this ion is?
2. What do you think is the gas produced at the cathode? What test could you do on the gas to check your prediction? What result would confirm your prediction?
3. The ion that is discharged at the anode will have what charge? What do you think the ion is?
4. What do you think is the gas produced at the anode? What test could you do on the gas to check your prediction? What result would confirm your prediction?
5. Why do you think so little gas collects at the anode?

Activity C1i.4 Quantitative electrolysis Learning objectives
• To introduce the link between half equations and the mole of electrons (the faraday)
Learning outcomes
• Be able to write half-equations to represent the reactions that occur at electrodes
• Know that a faraday is a mole of electrons
• Understand how to calculate the amounts of products formed in the electrolysis of molten
compounds and aqueous solutions from the half equations involved
Resources
Student Book page 98
Worksheet C1i.4a To find out how many faradays of electricity are needed to produce 1 mole of copper
Files on CD-ROM: C1i.4a_worksheet, C1i.4a_tech_notes
Resources for class practical (see below)
Approach
Introduce the faraday as a mole of electrons and relate this to some of the half-equations already encountered in the topic. Use the questions in the Student Book to provide practice for students.
Worksheet C1i.4a provides quantitative work related to the quantity of electricity needed to produce 1 mole of copper.
The calculation of the quantity of electricity from current (I) and time (t) is not a requirement of the course specification, but students should be able to cope with the necessary calculations. It provides a very useful reinforcement of the link between the half-equation and moles of electrons.
Technician’s notes
You will need the following resources for a class practical. Be sure to check the latest safety notes on these resources before proceeding.
power supply, rheostat, ammeter, leads, crocodile clips
balance accurate to 2 decimal places
stopwatch
2 copper electrodes
sandpaper or emery cloth
copper(II) sulfate solution (0.5M)
100 cm3 beaker
Answers Page 98
1. 2 faradays of electricity are needed to produce 1 mole of calcium atoms.
2. 2 moles of chlorine gas will be produced by 4 faradays of electricity.
3. 0.5 faradays will produce 0.25 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) = 0.5 g (2H+(aq) + 2e– → H2(g))

b) What information does the atomic number give about the structure of a calcium atom?
c) Which group of the Periodic Table is calcium in?
d) Which period of the Periodic Table is calcium in?
e) Is calcium a metal or a non- metal?
2. What is the family name for the Group 7 elements?
3. Are the Group 7 elements metals or non- metals?
SLATEM -NON DNA SLATEM ed as either metals or non- metals. In the Periodic Table, the metals are arranged on the left and in the middle, and the non- metals are on the right.
Metalloid elements are between metals and non- metals. They have some properties of metals and some of non- metals. Examples of metalloids are antimony (Sb) and germanium (Ge).
Metals and non- metals have quite different physical and chemical properties.
