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>
Answer:
Heterogeneous mixture solution
Explanation:
The reason this is Heterogeneous is that you cant see each individual compound in the solution. If this was sand or any compund that is not desolvable or not fully desolved in water would be Homogenous since you can see the individual compounds (water and sand)
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Part 1: 
reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have two steps. Firstly, chlorine, a good leaving group, leaves the carbon skeleton to form a relatively stable secondary carbocation. This carbocation is then attacked by the hydroxide anion, our nucleophile, to form the final product.
To summarize, this mechanism takes places in two separate steps. The mechanism is attached below.
Part 2: 
reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have one step. Our nucleophile, hydroxide, attacks the carbon and then chlorine leaves simultaneously without an intermediate carbocation being formed.
The mechanism is attached as well.
(b) The rate determining step is the slow step. Formation of the carbocation has the greatest activation energy, so this is our rate determining step for . For , we only have one step, so the rate determining step is the attack of the nucleophile and the loss of the leaving group.
Answer is: dipole-induced dipole interactions.
Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.
There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces and van der Waals forces.
A dipole-induced dipole interaction is a weak attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in a nonpolar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons in the nonpolar species.
