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>

What is a supersaturated solution?
sergey [27]

Supersaturation is a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances. It can also refer to a vapor of a compound that has a higher (partial) pressure than the vapor pressure of that compound.

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:
Zanzabum

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction is 5.663 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of oxygen gas = 8 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{8g}{32g/mol}=0.25mol

For the given chemical equation:

7O_2(g)+2C_2H_6(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

7 moles of oxygen gas produces 4 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 0.25 moles of oxygen gas will produce = \frac{4}{7}\times 0.25=0.143mol of carbon dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.143 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.143mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(0.143mol\times 44g/mol)=6.292g

To calculate the experimental yield of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Percentage yield of carbon dioxide = 90 %

Theoretical yield of carbon dioxide = 6.292 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

90=\frac{\text{Experimental yield of carbon dioxide}}{6.292g}\times 100\\\\\text{Experimental yield of carbon dioxide}=\frac{90\times 6.292}{100}=5.663g

Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide formed in the reaction is 5.663 grams
