Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the question above :

M = number of molecules in a gas

v = volume of gas in litres

Number of molecules is a function of volume

A) M = f(v)

B) independent variable = volume of gas in litres

C) Dependent variable = Number of molecules in a gas

D) Unit of independent variable :

Volume = Litre, m³, ft³

E) Unit of dependent variable

Number of molecules : mole
