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.

72.6g
The density formula is density equal mass divided by volume (d=m/v) to solve this you must get the mass by itself. You do this by multiply volume on both sides which then gets you density times volume equal mass. Then you can plug in the numbers which is 1.20g/mL x 60.5 mL the mL cancels out which leaves you with grams and thus you have 72.6g.

A student listed the characteristics of chemical and nuclear reactions.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

D. It is a chemical reaction because the total mass remains the same when new substances are formed.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation which show the reactant and products. Reactants are written on left side of arrow while products are written on right side. The number of atoms are remain same however arrangement of atoms is different on both side.

For example:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen. The number of atoms are same on both side however arrangement of atoms is different.

While in case of nuclear reaction small change in mass take place.

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?​
Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.
