Pasteur placed broth in a special type of flask that allowed air to enter and exit. then, he heated the broth and flask, so they no longer contained any bacterial cells. finally, after observing the flask for a few days and noticing that nothing grew in the flask, he was able to conclude that

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that 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 can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
