The best way to determine the presence of halogens is by adding a silver nitrate solution to the solvent. This is because all halogens, except for fluorine, produce a precipitate with silver nitrate solution.Chlorine produces a white precipitate, bromine produces a pale cream colored precipitate and iodine produces a yellow colored precipitate.
If further testing is required, concentrated sulfuric acid may be added. The sulfuric acid will produce misty fumes with fluorine and chlorine, brown fumes with bromine and purple fumes with iodine.

iragen [17]

The experiment conducted by Paul was not a waste of his time and resources even though he could not accomplish the experiment he initially prepared to conduct. The reluctance of the penguins to eat burgers even though they were starving and losing weight pointed towards the fact that they do not find junk food appealing. It could be concluded from their reluctance that they will eat only their normal diet rather than something they have never eaten before.

Which best describes a way in which phosphorus may enter into the phosphorus cycle
Alborosie

The following choices are provided;

  • Earthquakes release phosphorus.
  • Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
  • Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
  • Phosphorus is transpired.

The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus

Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.
