When experimenting, the best hypothesis to develop would be a null hypothesis (H₀). A null hypothesis is a statement indicating no change or effect. In this case, it would be;
“There is no effect of temperature on the solubility of a solid in a liquid”
An alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) would be;
“There is an effect of temperature on the solubility of a solid in a liquid”
In this experiment, the null hypothesis would be rejected and the alternative would be accepted. This is because the experiment would show that increased temperatures of the liquid increases solubility of the solid in the liquid.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition (meaning it's the same everywhere) and properties that are constant throughout the sample (meaning there is only one set of properties such as melting point, color, boiling point, etc
