Giselle is working with a chemical substance in a laboratory. She observes that when the chemical is heated, it gives off a gas. She assumes that the gas is oxygen but decides to test this assumption to verify it. Which type of scientific knowledge is Giselle’s assumption?

Explanation:

A hypothesis is an intelligent guess put forward to explain an experimental observation. It is a tentative explanation for a scientific observation which must be subjected to careful verification.

Giselle’s assumption that the gas evolved is oxygen is a hypothesis. It must now be tested carefully in order to verify if the hypothesis is true.
