Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Polarity and Solubility

Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other. This polarity allows water to dissolve other polar substances and ionic compounds effectively due to the attraction between opposite charges.

Step 2: Identifying Substances That Dissolve in Water

Polar substances and ionic compounds will easily dissolve in water because the positive and negative ends of the water molecules can surround and interact with the charged parts of these substances, breaking them apart and allowing them to mix uniformly with the water.

Step 3: Identifying Substances That Do Not Dissolve in Water

Non-polar substances do not dissolve well in water because they lack the charge differences that water molecules can interact with. Since there is no attraction between non-polar molecules and water, they tend to remain separate.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{polar}}\) substances will easily dissolve in it, but \(\boxed{\text{non-polar}}\) substances will not dissolve in it.

1. You have collected data on the rainfall (inches) in Columbia for 20 randomly selected days. Read the rain data into R in order to answer the following questions: (a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the average amount of rainfall per day in Columbia. CI- 0.3250 .739 which means that we are 95% confident that the true average rainfall per day in Columbia lies within this range (b) Based on your confidence interval, do we have evidence that it rains less than half an inch per day in Columbia on average? No we do not have evidence that is rains less than half an inch per day in Columbia on average because the CI(0.325 to 0.739) is above 0.5 inches (c) Are the assumptions of this statistical procedure satisfied? What does that mean?
