Answer:

C. If it is tested and the evidence does not support it.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is more less a scientific guess. Before such a guess or prediction is made, empirical observations and deductions are first made. It is from the result of the observations that a hypothesis statement is made.

For a hypothesis to become widely adopted and accepted, it must be testable within the limits of the experiment as described by the proposer. When subjected to test and it agrees, the status of a hypothesis can be upgraded.

If the hypothesis is tested and evidence contrasts the result being sort for, a hypothesis will be discarded.

Which process is caused by an increase in thermal energy
Over [174]

Answer:

They're different - heat and thermal energy. ... The heat, in turn, speeds up the molecules within the pot and the water. If you place a thermometer in the water, as the water heats up, you can watch the temperature rise. Again, an increase in internal energy will result in an increase in temperature.

Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)

Oxidized: Cd

Reduced: Ag

Explanation:

Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)

Cd → Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻      Half reaction oxidation

1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag           Half reaction reduction

Ag changed oxidation number from +1 to 0

Cd changed oxidation number from 0 to +2

Let's ballance the electrons

( Cd → Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻ ) .1

( 1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag ) .2

Cd + 2e⁻ + 2Ag⁺  → 2Ag +  Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻

Finally the ballance equation is:

Cd(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag(s)

The C=C bond in 2-cyclohexenone produces an unusually strong signal. Explain using resonance structuresBased on the above resona
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

When two single single bonds separated by a double bond (e.g C=C-C=C or C=C-C=O in the case of 2-cyclohexenone), the effect of resonance among those there bonds will be observed.

Explanation:

Since the Oxygen atom has higher electronegativity, it will cause the electrons in the resonance bonds 'flow' toward the Oxygen atom, so that the C=C will 'lose' some electron. The signal read for that bond will be different from other alkene structure.

Attachment is the resonance structure of 2-cyclohexene.
