What property of water allows it to absorb a large amount of energy before its temperature increases?

Because of the strength of its bonds. The force attracting the molecules to one another is strong and therefore a lot of energy is required to separate them. Heat is merely kinetic energy. When heat is added to water, that means the molecules are vibrating faster. The electromagnetic forces attracting the bonds to one another prevents the jiggling molecules from flying away. If enough energy is added, the molecules will vibrate so fast and hard that they will break away from the other molecules--the bonds or "chains" (so-to-speak) will be broken.

It would be against all the laws of physics if the temperature did not rise after absorbing energy, although the rise may be too small to measure with a normal thermometer.

Why does solubility of alum in water change with temperature?
The water molecules spread out as temperature increases, which allows the alum to dissolve more readily. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the water molecules become more compact which causes the alum to be less soluble.
What effect does temperature have on the solubility of a gas solution in a liquid solvent?
the solubility of a gas decreases when the temperature increases
What property of copper allows it to be pulled into thin wire?
in my opinon the invere property
What property is a physical property of table salt NaCl that allows it to be pumped?
This the solubility in water.
How does temperature affect the size of a balloon?
When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.
What increases the ability of air to hold water vapor?
A rise in temperature allows the air to absorb more water vapour.
What happens when the temperature of lava increases?
Its viscosity decreases, which allows it to flow easier.

What does an HP UP in Pokemon do?
An HP UP increases the maximum number of HP (hitpoints) a Pokemon has. This allows it to absorb more damage from attacks before it faints.
Why rate of evporation increases with increase in surface area?
increased surface area allows more particles to absorb more heat energy which breaks the intermolecular bonds between them at a faster rate, hence increases the rate of evaporation
What low property of ice allows it to float on water?
when water turns to ice its volume increases whilst its weight stays the same, therefore ice has a lower density than water, and this allows it to float.
Why viscosity increases to decrease temperature?
Viscosity tends to increase as temperature drops in most liquids because the kinetic energy of the molecules reduces. This allows the intermolecular forces to get molecules attracted giving the fluid more resistance to flow. Interesting though, in gases at low pressure viscosity increases with T1/2, where T is the thermodynamic temperature.
What is an organ that allows you to absorb oxygen from the air?
your lungs
What property of plasma and platelets allows them to be separated with a centrifuge?
Plasma and platelets have different densities, which allows them to be separated in a centrifuge. Because the platelets have a higher density than the serum and fibrin in plasma, they are pushed out of the plasma and collected at the bottom of the collection container.
What effect does temperature have on the solubility of a gas solution in a liquid solvent?
the solubility of a gas decreases when the temperature increases
Which property allows you to regroup addends?
The commutative property of addition and the commutative property of multiplication.
How does ice absorb carbon dioxide?
It doesn't. It traps atmosphere in small bubbles when it freezes. Air contains roughly 0.03% CO2 so it only collects very small amounts. WATER, on the other hand, in our oceans does absorb CO2! The Ocean is the primary method we remove CO2 from the Atmosphere. That is why we see naturally higher CO2 levels when the temperature warms and why CO2 always follows temperature and never leads it. Melting ice allows more surface area and allows us to absorb more CO2. That is a negative feedback loop often ignored by doomsday people that believe in the theory of man induced global warming.
