To determine whether the student's response to discussion question #1 was correct, I would need to see the specific content of the “Data Collection” section (including the two tables) and the student's response in the “Discussion” section. As I don't have access to those contents, I can't definitively assess whether the student's answer and reason were correct or incorrect.
Please provide the necessary information from the lab report, and I'll be happy to help you analyze it!
