Charles's Law relates the volume of a gas to its temperature. Monica conducted an experiment where she changed the temperature of a gas and recorded the volume of the gas at the different temperatures. The following table shows her results:
Temperature (C*) Volume (m3)
-100 173
-50 223
0 273
50 323
100 373

Question

Charles's Law relates the volume of a gas to its temperature.  Monica conducted an experiment where she changed the temperature of a gas and recorded the volume of the gas at the different temperatures.  The following table shows her results:
Temperature (C*)                  Volume (m3)
    -100                                      173
    -50                                        223
        0                                        273
      50                                         323
     100                                         373

1.  Identify the independent and dependent variabl

anonymous · Answer

The temperature is being changed, so that is the independent variable.  The dependent variable changes as the independent changes, so that is the volume in m^3.
hope this helps!

Thank you.  Here's the 2nd part:
Assuming the relationship between the temperature (t) and the volume (v) is linear, find the equation that represents the data in the table.  Show all work for each part of your equation.
