The reason why distilled water is very good for drinking and does not leach the minerals from the body.

Answer to Problem 18TE
The distilled water is good for drinking and does not leach the minerals from the body as the distilled water loses its purity once mixed with the contents in the stomach.
Explanation of Solution
The distilled water is pure as it is obtained by boiling the water and then condensing the vapours. The harmful components are removed, so it is pure for drinking.
When the pure distilled water is consumed, it gets mixed with the saliva in the mouth. After reaching in the stomach, it gets mixed with the acid in the stomach. As a result, it does not remain in its pure form. So, it cannot leach the minerals from the body.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the distilled water is good for drinking and does not leach the minerals from the body as the distilled water loses its purity once mixed with the contents in the stomach.

- Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures.
