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.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is 6.17x10^-30 C.m. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole m
valkas [14]

Answer:

There are other details missing in the question. i.e Assume that x is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis E = p/2πε0y3 can be used, where p is the dipole moment, and y is the distance between ions. A) What is magnitude______N B) Direction? +x-direction or -x-direction C) Is this force attractive or repulsive?

A) Magnitude of electric force = 6.576 x 10 raised to power -13 N

B) Since the force direction is always dependent on the electric field and electric field = F/q, since the chlorine has a negative charge as such the direction of the electric force will be in the X - direction

C) Since the charges are of different nature, as such the force between them will be ATTRACTIVE.

The detailed steps is shown in the attachment

A sample of gas has a mass of 0.560 g . Its volume is 125 mL at a temperature of 85 ∘C and a pressure of 757 mmHg .
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

132g/mole

Explanation:

using the formula PV=nRT should be used to solve for the number of moles (n).  R is a constant which is 62.3637 L mmHG/mole K.

Inorder for your units to match you will have to convert 125ml to .125L and the temperature of 85C to K . you do that by adding 273 to the 85C and get 358K.  Once you solve for n then you use that number and divide by the number of grams from the question (.560g) since molar mass is grams/moles.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Fluorine

Explanation:

Fluorine has 9 total electrons. The first two are in the 1s level, and the remaining electrons are on the outer level of the atom, with 2 in the s level and 5 in the p level. The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p5.

Which of the following is true about the distribution of water in the hydrosphere?
mr Goodwill [35]
<span>The answer is: C. The amount of water in the hydrosphere remains constant. 

</span>The hydrosphere denotes the entire water available worldwide in lakes and streams, subsurface water, the ice of glaciers, and water vapor in the atmosphere. The water cycle is the process that converts liquid water to atmospheric water vapor (and vice versa) throughout the world.
