Hypothesis is a proposal that is put forward as a possible prediction or an observation that will occur.  This may be true or false.

Law:

The relationship that is obtained from the experiments that support the proposed hypothesis is known as Law.  Law do not explain the relationship but it just summarize the relationship.

Theory:

Theory is the one that explains a law based on experimental results or observations.  Theory can be accepted or rejected or modified based on the outcome of the experimental results.

Consider the reaction of a propanoate ester with hydroxide ion shown below. A series of four alcohol leaving groups were tested to determine which would be the best leaving group. Based on the pKa values of the alcohols, predict which alcohol would produce the fastest hydrolysis reaction. HO FOR A Alcohol I, pKa =16.0 B Alcohol II, pKa =10.0 C Alcohol III, pKa = 7.2 + ROH D Alcohol IV, pKa = 6.6
