Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow.   Scenario:  You are conducting a series of experiments on the elusive pink and green snaggle-toothed rodent.  They don’t live very long, so you are trying to find out as much about them as possible as quickly as you can.  You are housing each of them in their own cage, but in the same climate-controlled room.  You are feeding them the same, highly nutritious food.  Today, you are conducting experiments on them that involved respiration and exercise.   You have them run on a little treadmill that you designed especially for them.  Each of them ran on the little treadmill for 5 minutes.   The data that you collected today was added to your data table, which now contains the following data:  age, sex, if they were fed or not (one (1) hour before exercising), their average resting heart rate, and their average heart rate immediately after exercising.     A:  What is your purpose for this research “today”?  (What were you trying to determine?)  B:  Write a good hypothesis for today’s study.  

After analyzing the data provided in a separate question that you used to draw your graph, answer the following questions:   A. Which group of rodents had a higher average heart rate before exercise?  What was it?  B. Which group of rodents had a higher average heart rate after exercise?  What was it?   C.  Is this what you expected to find from the experiment?

Here is your free bonus question (in case there is a mistake or lack of clarity in any previous question): I hope you get it right — it asks you to put important events in order as I want to emphasize that government in this early period was always a work in progress, and one that included many shared ideas but also lots of disagreements and negotiations between the different founders! Put the following frames of government that the Americans were using in the correct chronological order:

A kidney stone is primarily composed of calcium oxalate, CaC₂O₄. If the solubility of CaC₂O₄ in water at 25°C is 2.0×10−4 mol/L, calculate its solubility product constant (Ksp​).  CaC₂O₄(s) ⇌ Ca²⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)
