Describe one everyday situation in which it would be useful to identify unknown substance. explain how you would identify the substance in question

Here are three everyday situations which it would be useful to identify unknown substances:

1. When you have two clear substances with no labels yet you are not sure which substance is water and which one is not and not knowing what this unknown chemical might do.

2. A stain on your clothes

3. When you are not feeling well and your sense of taste is not functioning well.

The ways that these can be identified is first, start by the appearance, for example the state, color, texture, etc. And secondly, use your sense of smell. This sense is also helpful in identifying whether the substance is something strong or not.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
