What is a control in a scientific experiment

Hey there!

In a scientific experiment, there are three types of variables: dependent, independent, and control.

Independent variables are the variables that are changed and doesn't depend on another.

Dependent variables are the variables that are depending on the independent variable. When the independent variable changes, it affects the dependent variable.

Control variables are the variables that are kept the same throughout the entire experiment. These don't change at all.

Hope this helps!

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
