An investigation is conducted into how the mass of magnesium metal reacting with hydrochloric acid affects the amount of hydrogen gas produced. Masses of 0.10g, 0.20g, 0.30g and 0.40g of powdered Mg metal are reacted with hydrochloric acid(HCl). The conical flask containing the reaction mixture of Mg and HCl is connected to another conical flask with a hose. The hydrogen gas produced by the reaction is collected in this conical flask. The greater the amount of hydrogen gas produced by the reaction the greater the pressure of the gas in the flask.

A) what is the independent variable:
B) what is the dependent variable:
C) write a hypothesis for this investigation:
D) give 2 variables that should have been controlled for this investigation:

the correct answer would be b. amelia, because the particals of gas move really fast (charged particals) and gas also has a lot of room (particals move independently) so the only answer that has both of those is amelia's.
