QUESTION 10

An experiment was designed to measure the effect of temperature on solubility.

i) What is the independent variable?
The independent variable is the factor that is intentionally changed or manipulated by the experimenter. In this experiment, the experimenter is changing the temperature to see its effect.
The independent variable is $\boxed{\text{Temperature}}$.

ii) What is the dependent variable?
The dependent variable is the factor that is measured or observed and is expected to change in response to the independent variable. In this experiment, the solubility is being measured to see how it is affected by temperature.
The dependent variable is $\boxed{\text{Solubility}}$.
