1. Imagine that you need to take a medicine that the doctor has prescribed for you. Explain why scientists who developed that me

dicine would need to know whether or not the compound in that medicine is polar. How might a polar medicine behave differently as it dissolved in the body than a nonpolar medicine would? Answer in 1 to 2 paragraphs. (10 points) Think about how polar and nonpolar compounds might behave differently in the watery environment of your stomach or bloodstream.
If you could please write 2 paragraphs, I would give Branlyist. ​

Answer: The compound in medicines should be non polar.  

It is important for any drug to be able to dissolve itself through the cell membrane which consists of a lipid bi-layer, in order to diffuse in the body and circulate biologically, performing its function.

Non polar compounds are lipid soluble and therefore can dissolve in the lipid layers.

Polar compounds are water soluble and fail to cross the cell membrane.

Therefore scientists need to be sure of using compounds that are non polar in nature so they pass through the cell membrane and enter into the blood circulation of the body and perform its due function.

Calculate the hydronium ion and hydroxide ion concentrations in human blood at 25oc
sukhopar [10]

Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

− pH = log [H+] ,

[H+] = 10−pH.

Exponentiate both sides with base 10 to "undo" the common logarithm. The hydrogen ion concentration of blood with pH 7.4 is,

[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × 10−8 M.

O 1. 12 moles
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

n_{H_2O}=5.94molH_2O

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given question about stoichiometry, it is possible for us to calculate the required moles of water that will be produced by 12 grams of hydrogen, by using the molar mass of this reactant (2.02 g/mol as it is diatomic) and the 2:2 mole ratio in the chemical equation by solving the following setup:

n_{H_2O}=12gH_2*\frac{1molH_2}{2.02gH_2} *\frac{2molH_2O}{2molH_2} \\\\n_{H_2O}=5.94molH_2O

Regards!
