What indicates a positive test for the presence of salt?

Biology

The presence of salt that is sodium chloride cannot be tested at once. Two different tests are performed to show the presence of both sodium and chloride.

To test for the chloride ion:

Add few drops of aqueous solution of silver nitrate to aqueous solution of sodium chloride, white precipitate is seen which cannot dissolve in cold water and dilute nitric acid. This precipitate formed is soluble in solution of ammonium hydroxide to give a colorless diamine silver chloride solution.

To test for the sodium ion:  Use a flame test.

Dip a wire of platinum in concentrated hydrochloric solution and hold it in the  flame of the Bunsen burner until the flame no longer changes its color. Again dip the wire in hydrochloric solution and rub some sodium chloride on the wire and put it again in the burner, an intense yellow to orange color forms that shows the presence of sodium ion.

If the substance passes both the tests in the given way then it is salt (sodium chloride)

Several fish species became extinct millions of years ago. The graphs provided below show the distribution of fossils of these f
cestrela7 [59]
1. Explain why the distribution of fossils in Figure 1 supports the hypothesis that the extinction of these species was the result of a sudden environmental change.
This hypothesis can be supported because all the fossils accumulate almost at the same age of the rock layer. That is, all the fossils died almost at the same time.

2. Describe an environmental change that could have produced this type of fossil distribution.
Good examples of sudden environmental changes are volcanoes. When a rash occurs, the whole environment suddenly changes for different reasons such as ash or lava, and all living things can die immediately or in a few years by the change in the ecosystem.

3. Explain why the distribution of fossils in Figure 2 supports the hypothesis that the extinction of these species was the result of a gradual environmental change.
This is because the fossils accumulate at different ages of the rock layer, that means, the species dying over time. The gradual descent of the fossils is observed.

4. Describe an environmental change that could produce this type of fossil distribution.
For example, if a climate change occurs - the temperature increases or decreases - it can cause the trees or plants to die and all the animals in the ecosystem also die when they have no food. But this process is sequential, so the change can take years, centuries or even millions of years.

I hope this can help you.

Can two organisms with the same phenotype have different genotypes?
Annette [7]

Let's look BB and Bb

They both have the dominant trait which means they both have the same physical appearance (phenotype) , but while BB has both dominant and Bb has one dominant and one recessive that means that although Bb has the same phenotype as BB, it has a different genotype because it has a bit different genetic makeup
