3 Decompression sickness (also known as the bends) is a condition that affects divers and others operating under pressurized conditions. It occurs when gases such as nitrogen (N₂) come out of solution in the blood. This can lead to symptoms including joint pain, shortness of breath, and paralysis. Severe cases may result in death. a What type of molecule (ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent) is nitrogen gas? b The liquid medium of blood is water. What type of compound (ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent) is water? c What happens when molecules such as nitrogen gas mix with water? How does this explain the problems we see with decompression sickness?

There are different types of food coloring available in most grocery stores- one that is water-based, and one that is oil-based. The oil-based food coloring works best in chocolates, in fry-oil to color fried foods, and in food with high butter contents. Based off of this information and knowing that substances of like polarity mix readily with one another, which food coloring is more polar (water-based or oil-based)? Which food coloring is less polar (or even nonpolar)?
