Answer:
- <u>Dependent variable</u>
Explanation:
In a controlled <em>experiment </em>there will be one independent variable, one dependent variable, and some controlled or constant parameters.
The target of the expermiment is to tes how the dependent variable changes with the independent variable.
So, the scientist will change (manipulate) the independent variable and measure the dependent vabiales.
Here, the temperature will be manipulated (within a range), so this is the independent variable; the height of the cake is the variable whose behavior wants to be determined, so this is the dependent variable. Controlled variables or constants may include the mixture, the size of the pan, the time of cooking, the oven, among others.
For equal moles of gas, temperature can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:
P×V=n×R×T ...... (1)
Initial volume, temperature and pressure of gas is 3.25 L, 297.5 K and 2.4 atm respectively.
2.4 atm ×3.25 L=n×R×297.5 K
Rearranging,
n\times R=0.0262 atm L/K
Similarly at final pressure and volume from equation (1),
1.5 atm ×4.25 L=n×R×T
Putting the value of n×R in above equation,
1.5 atm ×4.25 L=0.0262 (atm L/K)×T
Thus, T=243.32 K
