In the next lab, we will be introduced to the ideal gas law,PV=nRT. If we are dealing with a sealed container, its volume (V)does not change, nor does the number of gas particles in it (n).This makes the only variables pressure (P) and temperature (T), theletter R represents a known constant. This means that as we changethe temperature, the pressure should change somehow. If P is thedependent variable, we can use algebra to rearrange the equation soit is alone on the left side of the equal sign (Just divide throughby V): P=(nR/V)(T). In this new equation, what is the independentvariable?
