What bonds of the reactants are broken in this reaction? what bonds are formed in the product?

What statement goes against the kinetic theory of gases

Acalorimeter is to be calibrated: 51.203 g of water at 55.2 degree c is added to a calorimeter containing 49.783 g of water at 23.5c. after stirring and waiting for the system to equilibrate, the final temperature reached is 37.6 degree c. specific heat capacity of water (s = 4.18 j/g∙degree c). calculate the calorimeter constant. (smδt)warm water = -[(smδt)cold water + (calorimeterδtcold water)]

Astudent conducts an experiment to determine how the amount of water given to a plant affects its growth. what is the independent variable for this experiment?
