Jay wants to know how the amount of acidity in rainwater influences the weathering rate of limestone. To answer his question, Jay performs an experiment in which he soaks identical pieces of limestone in 200 mL of different carbonic acid solutions. The pH of the solutions range from 3.0 to 5.5. After performing his experiment once, he reports his data and draws a conclusion. What can Jay do to improve the reliability and accuracy of his data?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0AHe can use different types of rocks but follow the same experimental procedure.%0D%0AHe can use different types of rocks but follow the same experimental procedure.%0D%0A%0D%0AHe can repeat his experiment using a sodium hydroxide base instead of carbonic acid.%0D%0AHe can repeat his experiment using a sodium hydroxide base instead of carbonic acid.%0D%0A%0D%0AHe can increase the volume of the carbonic acid solutions.%0D%0AHe can increase the volume of the carbonic acid solutions.%0D%0A%0D%0AHe can repeat his experiment multiple times and ask someone else to replicate his experiment.

To improve the reliability and accuracy of his data, Jay can repeat his experiment multiple times and ask someone else to replicate his experiment. This approach will help ensure that his findings are consistent and not due to random variation or error, enhancing the overall credibility of his results.
