As with so many of the peculiar properties of water it is the hydrogen bonding between water molecules that accounts for this. Much of the energy is stored in these bonds.

A water bath must be used while heating ethanol and acetone because the temperatures at which they can be heated might break the container they are heated in. Some metals are also heated this way.


Is there exactly the same water on earth as there was millions of years ago?

Although almost all of the water on Earth today has been on the surface for millions of years, some is constantly added from underground rock, and a tiny amount by meteors. Some water is lost to the formation of minerals and compounds, and by the photodissociation of water (after which the some of the free hydrogen nuclei can escape into space).

Where does the water go from the body?

Not a single molecule of water is lost to nothing from your body. Water is neither converted to hydrogen and oxygen in your body. Some of the water is lost via expiration. The exhaled air is saturated by water vapor. Water can be lost up to one liter per hour via skin in hot tropical climate. This is done to keep your body cool. Some of the water is lost in feces. Rest is excreted via kidneys.


Do most solids expand when cooled?

Generally speaking, substances have the least amount of surface area as a solid, as they are heated they form a liquid and expand, as this is heated it forms a gas and expands more. *Assuming pressure is constant **Water is the only substance to expand as it freezes


Why is an expansion device needed for water heater?

because the steam that the water makes when it is being heated needs to go some where, if it deos not expand then it will explode.
