universal solvent cohesion-water forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules Ex. surface tension adhesion- water forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules Ex capillary action High specific heat capacity- hydrogen bonding causes water to absorb heat before its temp increases or lose heat before its temp decreases Ex. temp modification High specific heat vaporization- hydrogen bonding in liquid water causes it to absorb large amounts of heat in order to become a vapour Ex. cooling through evaporation (dog panting) Solid water is less dense than liquid water- highest density is at 4 degrees celcius, water begins to freeze crystals form making v-shaped molecules hydrogen bonding causes these vshaped molecules to spread apart making the solid water less dense Ex. Ice floats on water

What is the characteristic of water that leads to its 6 unique properties?
Hydrogen bonding.
How does salinity change the properties of water?
Salinity causes the water to forget it's properties and relatives.

Do the physical properties of water change when a compound is dissolved in water. If so which properties change and why?
The physical properties of water can change when a compound is dissolved in water. The dissolved compound will determine which properties change. Some will change the surface tension, others will change the pH. Many changes are possible.
What properties give water such a high specific temperature?
The polar properties of water give it such a high specific temperature.
What is the characteristic of water that leads to its 6 unique properties?
Hydrogen bonding.

What property of water causes many of its properties?
The polarity of the water molecule is responsible for most of water's properties.
When do water undergo a change in physical properties?
These physical properties depends on the water temperature.
A person who studies water and its properties?
A person who studies water and its properties is called a Hydrogeologist.
How do properties of sugar and water alone compared to the properties of sugar and water combined solution?
It is the same
How does salinity change the properties of water?
Salinity causes the water to forget it's properties and relatives.
