Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

A scientific investigation is performed to answer and explain any natural phenomenon or event.  

Any scientific investigation can be performed by following the scientific method which includes many sequential steps which begin with making an observation, asking a question, do background research, propose a hypothesis which can be tested with experiments.

The main focus of any scientific investigation begins after proposing a well educated guess called hypothesis. A hypothesis is constructed on the basis of previous work due to which it explains the phenomenon to a limited extent which has to be tested.  

Thus, a hypothesis gives a direction and is the focus of a scientific investigation and is the correct answer.

What happens when The vapour obtained by dropping conc. H2SO4 in a mixture of KI and MnO2 is treated with hypo solution​
Shalnov [3]

Iodine is decolorized.

The first reaction stated in the question occurs as follows;

2 KI (aq) + 2 H2SO4 (aq) + MnO2 (s) → MnSO4 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) + I2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)

The reaction here is the formation of iodine from MnO2 and KI in the presence of dropwise H2SO4.

Hypo is the common name of sodium thio-sulphate or sodium hypo-sulfite.

The equation of the titration reaction is;

2Na2S2O3 + I2→ Na2S4O6 + 2NaI

When this reaction takes place, iodine is decolorized due to its reduction to I^-.

A substance has a triple point at −24.5 ∘C and 225 mmHg. What is most likely to happen to a solid sample of the substance as it
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The solid will sublime into a gas

Explanation:

In the graph in the attachment

Y-axis represents pressure in mm of Hg

X- axis represents temperature in degree Celsius

The graph show the triple point of water.

Clearly, the sample will go from solid to vapor directly, no liquid involved (pink line is there to show that this is below triple point)

So

expect sublimation

The solid will sublime into a gas.
