Question

a researcher wants to know how changing the temperature affects the pressure of a container. to do so, they create an experiment with 4 separate containers. each container is non - flexible, contains the same amount and type of gas. the first container is cold, the next is room temperature, the second is warm, and the last is hot. the researcher then measures the pressure of each container and records their results, finding that higher temperatures result in higher pressure. what is the independent variable? the temperature the pressure the container and amount of gas

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the factor that is deliberately changed or manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect on another variable. Here, the researcher changes the temperature of the containers to see how it affects the pressure. The pressure is the dependent variable (changes in response to temperature), and the container and amount of gas are controlled variables (kept the same).

Answer:

The temperature
