Answer:
A dependent valuable is a valuable whose variation depend on another variable usually the independent variable. An independent variable is a variable whose variation do not depend on another variable but the reseacher experimenting.
<h2> The correct option is (a).</h2>
Explanation:
- There is no change of state in pouring water into a vacuum insulated bottle as the vacuum created inside the bottle only reduces the time limit for the transfer of heat by conduction and convection.
- It helps the content filled in the bottle to be hot and cool for a longer time.
Hence, option (a) is correct.
Rest of the options (b), (c), (d), (e) is not correct because of the following reasons:
- In the sublimation of dry ice, the dry ice (solid-state) is changed to the vapour form.
- In the freezing of water, the liquid state is changed to solid-state.
- During the vaporization of alcohol, the liquid state is changed to the vapour form.
- During the melting of ice, the solid-state is changed to the liquid state.
