During a laboratory experiment, the temperature of the gas in a balloon is varied and the

volume of the balloon is measured.

A)

Which quantity is the independent variable?

B)

Which quantity is the dependent variable?

Respuesta :

A. The IV is the temperature of gas in the balloon.

B. The DV is the volume of the balloon.

This is because the temperature of the gas is the variable being manipulated in the experiment (Independent) and the volume is changing based on the shifts of the temperature (thus volume is Dependent).
