Answer:

Prepare solutions of different acid concentrations, measure 50 milliliters of each into different beakers, and place the same type of medication of the same mass into the beaker

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment to test the effect of stomach acid concentration on the solubility of a particular oral medication will have the following configuration;

The independent variable = The concentration of the acid to which the medication is added

The dependent variable = The solubility of the medication in the acid concentration

The constant = The medication which is added to the acid concentration

The controls = The fixed mass and type of the particular medication and fixed volume of the different concentrations of the acid samples.
