I am unsure how to write hypotheses for my experiments for pH, salinity using tirration(agno3), turbidity, conductivity of water samples. The teacher wants the hypothesis in this format

Question

Hypothesis format - If (relationship between independent variable and dependent variable) then (prediction: independent variable increases, dependent variable?) because (researched information) in text reference

this is what I wrote
Conductivity
If Nudgee beach has the highest conductivity level then the further away the sample is from Nudgee beach the lower the conductivity level will be because it contains Na+ and Cl-¬ ions which allow the electricity to pass. (Smith, Chemistry in Use, 2006, p. 77)

Turbidity
If the suspended solids are present in water then the higher the number of suspended solids the higher the level of turbidity because the turbidity sensors measure the amount of particles present in the sample (Smith, Chemistry in Use, 2006, p. 72).

Answer 1

You seem to have the right idea.
