To determine whether a compound is polar or nonpolar you have to take into account:
1) formation of dipoles due to the difference in electronegativities of the atoms
2) shape of the molecule to conclude whether there is a net dipole momentum.
You already, likely, know that the electronegativities of H and O are significatively different, being O more electronegative thatn H. So, you can conclude easilty that the electrons are atracted more by O than by H, thus creating two dipoles H→O
Regarding the shape, it may appear that the molecule is symmetrical, which would lead to the cancellation of the two dipoles. But that is not the true. The H2O2 is not symmetrical.
The lewis structure just show this shape
** **
H - O - O - H
** **
which is what may induce to think that the molecule is symmetrical, leading to the misconception that it is nonpolar.
But in a three dimensional arrangement you could see that the hydrogens are placed in non symmetrical positions, which leads to the formation of a net dipole momentum, and thus to a polar molecule.
The fact that H2O2 is a polar compound is the reason why it can be mixed with water and the H2O2 that you buy in the pharmacy is normally a solution in water.
So, the hydrogen peroxide is polar because the hydrogens are not placed symmetrically in the molecule, which result in a net dipole momentum.

Answer:
A. releases a large amount of heat
Explanation:
A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.
In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.
Answer:
K^+ and NO3^-
Explanation:
In a balanced ionic equation, we usually see the species that react to yield the main product in the reaction.
Consider the reaction;
Pb(NO3)2(aq) +2 KI(aq) -------> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)
The main product in this reaction is PbI2. Hence the balanced ionic equation is;
Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) ------> PbI2(s)
Notice that K^+ and NO3^- did not participate in this reaction. All ions that are part of the molecular equation but do not participate in the ionic reaction equation are called spectator ions. Hence K^+ and NO3^- are spectator ions in this reaction as can be seen clearly above.
