Scientific Investigations help?

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

what exactly do you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omar wants to find a simple test that he can use to identify certain gases. Omar wants to be able to identify oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. He decides to use a splint of flaming wood to perform his experiment. Omar places the splint of wood into a sealed chamber. He then watches what occurs as he pumps one of his three gases into the chamber. Which of the following is the independent variable in Omar's experiment?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the air pressure in the chamber the type of gas used the temperature of the chamber the type of wood used

@beccaboo333

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

well it doesnt talk about the temperature. there isnt a specific gas said thats used. and okay it talks about the wood. but thats not the independent variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that leaves the air pressure in the chamber? @beccaboo333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind its the type of gas used, thanks though.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

okay.
