If the results of an experiment to test your hypothesis show your hypothesis to be wrong:O the experiment was a failure.O you can make a new hypothesis and test it!O you need to redo your experiment until you prove your hypothesis correct!O you didn't follow the scientific method.O You can just fake your results

A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for an experiment.

Answered: If the results of an experiment to test…

Is one anomaly enough to disprove a hypothesis? If not, how many are? Why is it important that scientists use all of their results and not just some of them? What should we do if the evidence neither supports nor contradicts the hypothesis?
What is wrong with the following statement? "The results of the experiment do not agree with the theory.something must be wrong with the experiment".
In the following scenario, identify which of the statements represents a theory, law, or hypothesis. (a) A student exploring the properties of gases proposes that is she decreases the volume of a sample of gas then the pressure exerted by the sample will increase (b) Many scientists over time have conducted similar experiments and have concluded that pressure and volume are inversely proportional. (c) She proposes that the reason this occurs is that if the volume is decreased, more molecules will collide with a given area of the container walls, causing the pressure to be greater.
1.21 When a scientist looks at an experiment and then predicts the results of other related experiments, which type of reasoning is she using? Explain your answer.
Which of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes? You curl your hair with a curling iron. You curl your hair by getting a “permanent wave” at the hair salon. Ice on your sidewalk melts when you put salt on it. A glass of water evaporates overnight when it is left on the bedside table. Your steak chars if the skillet is too hot. Alcohol feels cool when it is spilled on the skin. Alcohol ignites when a flame is brought near it. Baking powder causes biscuits to rise.
Which of these is a characteristic of science? O It is based on views and opinions. O It is guided by values like trust and truth. O It helps find answers to questions which are not testable. O It gives the same result when experiments are repeated.
Why is it necessary to perform repeated experiments inorder to support a hypothesis?
Real-World Chemistry 1. Suppose you wanted to ship bananas from Puerto Rico to New York and the time required for shipment was 8 days. Will you choose to ship ripe bananas or green bananas? Why? 2. You may have heard the saying "One bad apple will spoil the whole barrel." Based on the results of | your experiment, do you think the statement may be true? Why?
formulate a hypothesis. the hypothesis can be about anything.

The mass of magnesium used in this experiment is critical to determining the moles of hydrogen gas generated. The analytical balances used in Chemistry 1A labs are very sensitive to point that touching materials with your fingers before measuring them can affect the measurements. The balances are sensitive enough to detect dirt and oils from your fingers transferred to the magnesium. Would your experimental value of R increase or decrease if the mass of magnesium measured was artificially high due the touching it with your hands? Increase Decrease
Archimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)
