Answer:

water is <u>polar </u>because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Water is  polar covalent compound because of large electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. If the electronegativity difference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 the covalent compound will be non polar.

Covalent Compound:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and water becomes polar.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Banana wafers and chips

Explanation:

Winnowing is the process of separating heavier and lighter components of a mixture by blowing air through the mixture. This implies that the relative weight of the particles in the mixture determines whether they can be separated by winnowing or not.

However, chips are heavier than wafers. wafers refer to a very light snack which is easily blown away by a current of air. Hence banana chips and wafers can be separated using the method of winnowing.

You have used 2.4×102 L of distilled water for a dialysis patient. How many gallons of water is that?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

63.36gallons

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of water used for dialysis = 2.4 x 10²L

Solution:

We are to convert from liters to gallons.

The conversion factor is shown below:

                1L = 0.264gallons

To convert to litre:

       since 1L = 0.264gallons

             2.4 x 10²L = (2.4 x 10² x 0.264)gallons; 63.36gallons
