Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Quino checkerspot butterfly is an endangered species with a small range in northern Mexico and southern California. Evidence reported in 2003 indicates that the range of this species is even smaller than previously thought. An explanation has to be proposed for the question that, why this species is being pushed north, out of Mexico.
Concept introduction:
Pollutants: The substance present in the environment in harmful concentration and cause pollution, and it will damaging the growth rate of species by interfering with the food chains, affect the health, comfort and property.
Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
Climate change is the long term changes in temperature and precipitation in any specific area in the earth. Climate changes will occurs through natural ways and also in anthropogenic ways.

Interpretation:
The Quino checkerspot butterfly is an endangered species with a small range in northern Mexico and southern California. Evidence reported in 2003 indicates that the range of this species is even smaller than previously thought. A plan has to be proposed for the to prevent further harm to this endangered species.

Toluene D. Xylene E. Unknown F. Corn Oil The result is shown in the attached picture. Based on other references, the result should either be a colorless or an orange/brownish solution. However, based on our result, there seems to be a formation of other compounds in some samples. My question is, what is the yellow precipitate-like product in sample A when Bromine was added and the yellow layer at the top of sample F?
