A certain piece of glass, when heated in an open flame to a temperature near its melting point, imparts a yellow color to the flame.Is this a law, fact or hypothesis? Helppppp me please!!!!!!

Question

Glass is sodium sillicate. The fact that the flame is yellow is an indication for sodium. So it's a fact.

Thanks , but how can you make the difference between them?

thomaster · Answer

Well a hypothesis is what you think will happen during an experiment.
You probably know what a fact is.
A law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that expresses a fundamental principle of science.

You could also see it as a hypothesis when you're doing an experiment on flame color when glass is heated or something. Probably some scientific laws (thermodynamica) will be involved too.
