Ascientist studies the effect of adding different amounts of salt on the boiling point of water. he places his results in the graph below. what are the independent and dependent variables in this experiment?

The amount of salt- independent variable

The boiling point of water- dependent variable

Explanation:

An independent variable can be manipulated manually in an experiment the result of this manipulation can be observed on the dependent variable. The dependent changes with respect to the independent variable.

In the given experiment the amount of salt is the independent variable as the amount of the salt can be changed or manipulated. The effect of such change can be observed on the dependent variable that is the boiling point of water.

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
