If water were a nonpolar molecule, how would its properties be different?

If water was nonpolar, life as it exists now would be impossible. Water is the means by which ionic substances ( Fe^3+, Na^+, Ca^2+, K^+, etc) and polar molecules are distributed around and in the cells of organisms. 
<span>Water is a major contributor to erosion of mountains because of its polar nature. It is able to dissolve almost all minerals because of its attraction for the positive and negative parts of the minerals that it encounters. </span>
<span>If it was nonpolar, it would not exist in the solid and liquid state on earth. It is the attraction of the oppositely charged ends of different water molecules that makes it assume the liquid and solid state under the temperature ranges found on earth.</span>

I believe D. because all the organisms that live in a lake can be a bunch of living things that would be considered a population and not a species. I canceled out B. from the get go because, I don’t believe non living organisms can be in a population ?

The electrical conductivities of the following 0.100 M solutions were measured in an apparatus that contained a light bulb as th
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Al(NO₃)₃ >  KI > HF > CH₃OH

Explanation:

The electrical conductivities of the solutions will depend on the concentration of ions in solution.

Al(NO₃)₃ solution contains 0.1 M of Al³⁺ ions and 0.3 M of NO₃⁻ ions

KI solution contains 0.1 M of K⁺ ions and 0.1 M of I⁻ ions

HF solution contains less than 0.1 M of H⁺ ions and less then 0.1 M of F⁻ ions, because the HF acid will not dissociate completely

CH₃OH practically it does not dissociate, so in the solution will not be electrical conductive (comparative with the other solutions)

The solutions in order of decreasing intensity of the bulb are ranked as following:

Al(NO₃)₃ >  KI > HF > CH₃OH

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 8.60 g of a solid with a
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

1.43 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solid = 8.60 g

Molar mass of solid = 21.50 g/mol

Mole of solid =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of solid = 8.60 / 21.50

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Next, we shall convert 280 mL to litre (L). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

280 mL = 280 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

280 mL = 0.28 L

Thus, 280 mL is equivalent to 0.28 L.

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Volume = 0.28 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 0.4 / 0.28

Molarity = 1.43 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.43 M.
