A scientist is studying a newly created substance. She performs a test in which she keeps adding heat to the substance until it catches on fire. What type of property is she measuring?

Chemical property (flammability).

Explanation:

An experiment can be defined as an investigation which typically involves the process of manipulating an independent variable (the cause) in order to be able to determine or measure the dependent variable (the effect).

This ultimately implies that, an experiment can be used by scientists to show or demonstrate how a condition causes or gives rise to another i.e cause and effect, influence, behavior, etc in a sample.

In this scenario, a scientist is studying a newly created substance. She performs a test in which she keeps adding heat to the substance until it catches on fire. Thus, the type of property she is measuring is a chemical property (flammability).

Flammability can be defined as a chemical property which measures the ability of a substance (matter) to ignite or burn due to the presence of oxygen and heat.
