16
Q

waters unique properties 4

A

universal solvent
high melting and boilling point
high heat capacity
special cohesive and adhisice properties

17
Q

Water is a universal solvent meaning

A

water molecules are polar (diffrent charges at each end) resulting inva weak attraction between molecules known as a hydrogen bond which allows water to dissolve verity of substances

18
Q

water gas high melting and boiling point which means

A

a lot of energy is required ti break hydrogen bonds to change state

19
Q

water melting point

A

0

20
Q

water boiling point

A

100

21
Q

density in water

A

as it gets colder the water molecules loosen which is opposite of normal substances
when it gets hotter molecules tighten causing higher density

22
Q

water has high heat capacity meaning

A

large amounts of energy required ti increase temperature and large amounts of energy are given off when when water water temperature drops

23
Q

energy from water > heats the

A

land

24
Q

energy from pand> given to

A

given ti water to cool the land

25
Q

water has special properties known as

A

cohesion and adhesion

26
Q

cohesion

A

attraction of water molecules yo other water molecules

27
Q

adhesion

A

attraction of water molecules to other substances molecules

28
Q

issues affecting water

A

fresh water is only 3% not everybody has water
increasing temperature of world increases drought and evaporation which decreases plant growth and increases CO2 lvls

29
Q

hydrogen bonding enables water ti dissolve a wide variety of substances

A

true

30
Q

is liquid water or ice more dense

A

liquid water

31
Q

water has a ___heat capacity

A

high

32
Q

metabolic water is generated by

A

metabolic reactions
