QUESTION 10

10.1. If pressure is increased, then the volume will also decrease. √√

Or

An increase in pressure will results in a decrease in volume.

10.2. Independent variable – pressure. √

Dependent variable – volume. √

10.3. Temperature, √

You might not get accurate readings because volume and pressure both
depends on temperature. √
