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

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
