Question

reggie wants to test the effect of salt on the boiling point of water. he uses equal amounts of water in two 500 ml containers but adds 35 grams of salt to one container. he then heats the water to boiling and measures the temperature of the water when it boils. 6. the dependent variable is: a) the salt added to water b) the boiling point temperature of the water c) the amount of water used d) the amount of heat applied to the water

Explanation:

A dependent variable is what is being measured and changes in response to the independent variable. In this experiment, the independent variable is the salt added to water, and the boiling - point temperature of water changes depending on whether salt is added or not. The amount of water and heat are kept constant.

Answer:

b) the boiling point temperature of the water
