Sugar dissolves in or mixes completely with water. The solubility of a substance in water is determined by measuring the maximum amount of the substance that dissolves in a given amount of water at a given temperature. Hypothesis: identify the independent variable and a dependent variable that you would use to test this hypothesis.

(A) dependent variable - volume of water
Independent variable- water temperature

(B) dependent variable- water temperature
Independent variable- amount of sugar that dissolves

(C) dependent variable- amount of sugar that dissolves
independent variable- water temperature

(D) dependent variable- amount of sugar that dissolves
Independent variable- mineral content of the water
