The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons.
The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.
Answer:
K = 137.55 atm/M.
Explanation:
- The relationship between gas pressure and the concentration of dissolved gas is given by Henry’s law:
<em>P = (K)(C)</em>
where P is the partial pressure of the gaseous solute above the solution (P = 1.0 atm).
k is a constant (Henry’s constant).
C is the concentration of the dissolved gas (C = 7.27 x 10⁻³ M).
∴ K = P/C = (1.0 atm)/(7.27 x 10⁻³ M) = 137.55 atm/M.
