Answer:
c. suggesting a solution to a problem after studying it carefully
Explanation:
Hypothesis generally refers to an assumption made. This assumption can either be true or false. It is a reasoning presented in order to explain a phenomenon and is the starting point for further investigation.
Among the options, the closest that best describes it is option C.
<span>Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be.
Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.</span>
(ANS1)— P4 + 5O2 ---> 2P2O5
(ANS2)— C3H8 + 5O2---> 3CO2 + 4H20
(ANS3)— Ca2Si + 4Cl2 ---> 2CaCl2 + SiCl4
