Karissa is conducting an experiment on the amount of salt that dissolves in water at different temperatures. She repeats her tests several times using the same procedure. What can Karissa do to further increase confidence in the results of her experiment?

Answer:

She could time how long it takes for each amount of salt dissolves in the waters. (as well as keep each amount of salt the same if she was not doing that already.)

Step-by-step explanation:

This way, she could observe which water is best for dissolving solvents and which is most affective in the shortest amount of time. If she was not timing how long it takes for salt to dissolve in different temperatures of water, then the experiment may as well have been useless unless there is somehow a different objective.

Answer:

she could make sure the experiment follows a specific procedure that allows other scientists to produce the same findings
