Why is hellbender salamanders endangered?
Helbenders are endangered mainly because of pollution. Since so much pollution is dumped and pumped into streams, many hellbenders are dying. Most of the waste that is dumped into rivers is acidic. The acids in the waste are not only harmful to hellbenders, but also to fish, salamanders, and other aquatic animals.

How does pH paper provide better information to a scientist about unfamiliar or unknown solution?
pH paper is of extreme importance to a scientist who is working with an unfimiliar chemical or solution. pH paper tells whether the object is acidic, alkali (basic), or neutral. If red pH paper turns blue when dipped into a solution, it means the solution is an alkali. If blue pH paper turns red when dipped in a solution, it means it's acidic. and if neither the red nor blue pH paper turns any color, its neutral. A scientist who wants to combine a solution with something must know whether it's acidic, alkali, or neutral so as to not have an uncontrolled reaction. When acids mix with bases, it usually means an explosion or some kind of reaction.
