Last time we learned about hydrothermal vents...the physical and chemical properties surrounding the vents....and how energy is transfered throughout these unique environments. Today we are going to learn more about the chemical properties of hydrothermal vents.
To start with...Figure out the oxidation numbers (number of electrons in the outer shell) of Zn, Fe, and Cd using the following chemical equations:
ZnCl2
FeCl3
CdCl2

Unexplored before 1977, hydrothermal vents (aka: 'black smokers') represent a unique environment on our planet. In spite of their inaccessibility, they continue to be the focus of much investigation and research, the results of which are helping to answer many scientific questions.
You and your partner will learn about hydrothermal vents by using the links below (Check these out...) to answer the questions on the LEFT. You will be posting your answers as comments for each question. Good Luck!
