determinstion based on the results of a controlled experiement.
A chemistry experiment is performed to determine the effect of a nonvolatile solute on the
boiling point of water. Three trials are performed in which 10 MG, 20 MG and 30 MG of salt

elevated boiling points are recorded. Which of the following correctly identifies the
independent and dependent variable? -correct answerThe independent variable is the
amount of salt, and the dependent variable is the temperature at which the water boils.
