4/20/16 Chemistry- Water Polarity Mrs. Jenny Polarity: The intermolecular forces between the slightly positively- charged end of one molecule to the negative end of another of the same molecule. Polarity simply means that the molecule has both a negatively and positively charged end. The polarity of water is important because it is responsible for dissolving other polar molecules like ionic compounds (such as salt) and sugars. To form ions‚ ionic compounds must be dissolved in water. This is important

India is rich in water resources‚ being endowed with a network of great rivers & vast alluvial basins to hold groundwater. Conditions‚ however‚ vary widely from region to region. Whereas there are some chronically drought affected areas‚ there are others which are frequently subject to damage by floods.On the whole‚ under the pressure of rapid population growth‚ the available resources of water are being developed & depleted at a fast rate & the situation seriously underlines the need for taking

Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential. The potential for water to move

Water spouts are another type of tornado. A water spout is a tornado that hoovers over land and is formed by strong pull of water forming the tornado’s funnel and high wind speeds around it. Water spouts can form in two different ways. During normal weather when water temperatures are high and the air is very humid is typically when water spouts can form at sea level. The second way a water spout can form is like a regular tornado‚ it will form from a cloud and descend down but will touch water’s

Effect of Salt on the Boiling Point of Water" Lab Question: How does adding salt to water affects it’s boiling point? Prediction : In this paper‚ a newly proposed model based on solvation between pure solvent and salt for prediction of salt effect on vapor–liquid equilibria is presented by using only the vapor pressure depression data of pure solvent+salt systems that compose the mixed solvent with salt system Materials : 200 mL of distilled water‚ 2 beakers‚ 5grams of salt‚ beaker

Bottled Water: Urbanization and Environmental Impact A Report by Mihir Garikiparithi The bottled water industry has grown rapidly and continuously since its inception. However‚ it has been a topic of concern ever since the negative effects of plastic were discovered in 1891. The necessity of bottled water‚ and the waste produced by the industry‚ has been questioned numerous times. One of the key factors that create a demand for bottled water is urbanization. The expansion of cities and industry

What if you didn’t have enough water to do your daily activities. California is in a humongous drought. The egocentric farmers are using water for the food‚ but the people need water for themselves. Like taking showers‚ and water for washing their clothes. There isn’t enough water for the people to use the aquifer for their needs. The citizens go months or weeks without showering. The people even have to use bird baths to shower. California should control the aquifer use. Moreover‚ since the farmers

“The History of Water on Mars” Essay Water is a very abundant resource in our solar system. You can find water attached to most of the colder and farther planets. When I speak of water though‚ I mean ice water. Not the silky drink you have every day‚ but the very high-pressure sealed water that is usually found below the sediment and crust. “But shouldn’t that be where liquid water comes from?” is what most ask‚ and sometimes the answer is yes‚ but there are many situations that vary. Just like
