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)

Identify what types of of questions that can be answered by science
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.

Explanation:

Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.

In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:

Biology

<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>

<em />

Neuroscience (humans)

<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>

<em />

Behavioral Ecology

<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>

Neuroscience (Animals)

<em>Are killer whales capable of  problem-solving?</em>

<em />

Ecology

<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>

<em />

Conservation Biology

<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>

<em />

Animal Behavior

<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>

<em />

Parasitology

<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>
