A chemist tests a new catalyst to see if it speeds up a reaction. She runs one trial with the catalyst at 50^circC and one trial without the catalyst at 20^circC.

What is the primary reason the results are unreliable?

  1. A temperature of 50^circC is too hot for most tests.
  2. The catalyst was likely not a high-quality type.
  3. She only performed one trial for each condition.
  4. Two independent variables were changed at once.
