Answer:
The sample a which is solid at 20°C is "Iodine"
The sample b which is liquid at 20°C is "Bromine"
The sample c which is gas at 20°C is "Chlorine"
Explanation:
Iodine : It starts melting at 113.7°C, so the solid sample found is the iodine. Iodine is present in both solid as well as in vapor state. Basically it is kept in closed jars. Only when it reaches the temperature above the melting point is starts melting.
Bromine: It is a non metallic element that is present in the liquid state, being a member of halogen group. It is heavy, mobile and dangerous reddish brown liquid. It is corrosive in nature, when comes in contact with human tissue and causes irritation in eye when comes in contact with its vapor.
Chlorine: In room temperature it is gas, as it has weak intermolecular interaction which fails to keep the molecules closely attached.
Answer:
1. Using the map and the minimal knowledge that Liz has at this point, propose three different hypotheses regarding the sudden high mortality of marine iguanas. Record your answers in the worksheet and post your hypotheses to the 03.01 class discussion board before proceeding to the next question. (3 points possible)
Hypotheses One: Iguanas are adapted to hot/warm weather, so the weather changed could have affected them.
Hypotheses Two: There was not enough shelter for the iguanas so they started disappearing.
Hypotheses Three: A new species has come close to where the iguanas live and taken them out.
2. Look at your classmates’ hypotheses on the discussion board. Choose one hypothesis that seems most likely to you. Provide the student name and hypothesis and tell what evidence you would need to support (or refute) it. (3 points possible) Carter Spiers, Hypothesis 1. there was a lot of rain and it washed at the iguanas away. We would have to dive into the water/ ocean and find iguana bodies to be able to prove that this is true.
3. Given what you know at this point about marine iguanas and the abiotic effects of ENSO, develop two possible directions of research that Liz should pursue to understand exactly why the iguanas suffered such a high mortality. Keep in mind that you need to consider indirect effects. While environmental temperature does change metabolic rates of ectotherms, the iguanas are exposed to a wide range of temperatures as they feed and bask on the lava. Direct mortality in response to a temperature change of a couple of degrees is unlikely. (3 points possible)
Possible Research Direction One: The climate event caused a lot more rainfall which then made it very hard for the iguanas to reach their food source.
Possible Research Direction Two: The temperatures raised very high causing the iguanas to absorb a extreme about of extra heat, which eventually made them very lazy and stopped defending their self from predators.
4. Choose one of those directions of research and determine what data you would need to find to support your ideas. (2 points possible) Specific data of the extreme amounts of rainfall.
Explanation:
There are many examples you can choose from, but one great example, a venus fly trap, and a lotus, for example. The two examples given differ because they:
*provide themselves with different types of foods
*have a different system of reproducing, as well as growing
*and live in two different types of environments.
Also, remember, the fly trap is a carnivorous plant, while the lotus is not
The factor that CITES fail to consider when determining which species to cover is the Ecosystem sustainability.
A sustainable ecosystem is a biological environment with a series of habitats that is able to thrive and also support itself without outside influence. it is the capacity of the biosphere to meet the needs of the present generation, without hindering future generations from being able to meet their needs.
