Mostly the skin, which is quite water-proof. (And dust proof.)

The nose also helps, but the finer dist is trapped in the mucous of the airways thanks to the turbulence produced by the "vocal cords" during inspiration.

(From there its brought to the back of the throat where it is either swallowed or coughed out.)

Yes, polar substances dissolve well in water because water is a polar molecule with positive and negative ends that can interact with other polar molecules through electrostatic interactions. This allows substances with polar characteristics to easily dissolve in water.


What stops water going into gas syringe?

A one-way valve or check valve at the entrance of the gas syringe prevents water from entering the syringe. This valve allows gas to pass through but blocks the passage of liquids like water.

A glass of water is stirred and then allowed to stand until the water stops movingwhat has happened to the kinetic energy of the moving water?

The kinetic energy of the moving water has been transferred to other forms of energy, such as heat and sound, during the stirring process. Once the water stops moving, the kinetic energy has dissipated and the water is now in a state of equilibrium.
