Question

Based on what you have observed, which of the following is an appropriate hypothesis that specifically explains the observed color changes? 

Select one or more:
a. When Dye X is added to an acidic solution it will cause the solution to turn yellow, and when added to a neutral solution, it will cause the solution to turn blue.
b. When Dye X is added to solutions it causes a color change. This is because the dye reacts with chemicals in the solutions.
c. When Dye X is added to an acidic solution it will cause the solution to turn yellow, and when added to a basic solution, it will cause the solution to turn blue.
d. When Dye X is added to an acidic solution it will cause the solution to turn blue, and when added to a basic solution, it will cause the solution to turn yellow.
e. When Dye X is added to a neutral solution it will cause the solution to turn yellow, and when added to a basic solution, it will cause the solution to turn blue.
