Answer:

Explanation:

Public tap water is not desirable when carrying out experiments in the laboratory.

The chemical definition of water is a compound made up of two atoms of hydrogen to 1 atom of oxygen. Any violation simply desist from the true meaning of water.

Why are tap water not used:

  • They contain other dissolved ions like chlorine which have been added in their treatment. This alters the fundamental molecules that is expected to be seen in water. Water of this nature can affect experimental results seriously.
  • Tap water can become a mixture instead of a simple compound. A mixture is a combination of several compounds. Such water will have a varied composition and make simplification of experiments very difficult.

You can increase the surface area of a block of ice by
lozanna [386]
Surface area<span> of a solid object is a measure of the total </span>area<span> that is occupied by the surface of object. 

If two objects has same mass, then smaller size particles will have greater surface area. 

Thus, in order to increase the surface area of ice, one can crush it into small particles. Due to crushing, particles will break into smaller size and eventually this will result in larger surface area.  </span>

How does the concept of polarity relate to bond formation and molecular shape?
Ket [755]

Answer: heyyyooo

The bond polarity for each bond in a BH3 molecule is polar, due to the difference in electronegativities of the B and H atom. The molecular shape is trigonal planar, and the molecule is non-polar - because due to the symmetry of the molecule, the polarities cancel out.

Explanation:

hope this helps!
