A hypothesis is given to explain a phenomena which has not been explained till then. it can be supported by an experiment if that experiment gets the other results regarding that particular phenomena in agreement with that being predicted by the hypothesis

Well, a hypothesis is " a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation" which would mean you pretty much make an educated guess on what you will think will happen depending on your experiment. So if you guess correctly on what will happen (Example. I think the egg will break, then after you do the experiment the egg does break. This will mean your hypothesis is correct) But if you guess incorrectly this would mean your hypothesis would be incorrect, which I guess would mean if you got it right it would be supporting the hypothesis and if you got it wrong, that would be failing the hypothesis. Then again you should always double check with a parent or guardian because I am not completely sure I read the question correctly. I hope this helps anyways,Good luck!

Answer:

A. write balanced chemical equation (including states), for this process.

Explanation:

Almost all hydrocarbon 'burn' reactions involve oxygen; it's by far the most reactive substance in air.

Hydrocarbon combustions always involve

[some hydrocarbon] + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + steam.

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance carbon, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance hydrogen, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O (g)

Now, we have fifteen oxygens on the right and O2 on the left.

Two ways to deal with that. We can use a fraction:

C6H6 (l)+ (15/2)O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ 3H2O (g)

Or, if you prefer to have whole number coefficients, double everything

to get rid of the fraction:

2C6H6 (l)+ 15O2 (g)--> 12CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (g)

With the SATP states thrown in...

C6H6(l) + (15/2)O2(g) --> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

Socratic an example of an atom that has no charge is one that has

aksik [14]

An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has a. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.

To be neutral an atom must have the same number of protons (+) and electrons (-).

Only then will the charges cancel and give a neutral atom.

Bombardment of cobalt-59 with a neutron produces a manganese-56 atom and another particle. What is this particle?A. an alpha par

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:A

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is balanced by ensuring that the Masses and charges of te reactants and products are exactly balanced on the left and right hand side of the reaction equation. If there are 60 mass units on the LHS and manganese has only 56 mass units then four mass units are left. If there is no charge on a neutron and there is a charge of 27 on the cobalt, then two charges are left. Four mass units and a charge of +2 corresponds to a helium which is actually an alpha particle.
