Water is the universal solvent and has high specific heat. It is both adhesive and cohesive and has surface tension. Water also has variable pH levels and can dissociate. Lastly, it can take on the three different phases of matter.

Are proteins soluble in water?

Yes, proteins are generally soluble in water due to their hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties.


What are the characteristics of molecules that exhibit polar hydrophobic properties?

Molecules with polar hydrophobic properties have a nonpolar region that repels water and a polar region that interacts with water. This creates a molecule that is both attracted to and repelled by water, making it hydrophobic.


What are the properties of a molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar?

A molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar has a nonpolar region that repels water (hydrophobic) and a polar region that interacts with water (polar). This unique combination of properties allows the molecule to dissolve in both water and nonpolar solvents.


How would water's properties as a solute change if a stable water molecule were H3O rather than H2O?

could it be any of these? -This would have no effect on the properties of water as a solute. -Water molecules would become less polar and lose the ability to dissolve solutes. -More hydrogen bonds would form, preventing water from interacting with solutes.


What are the properties and applications of water-soluble molecular compounds?

Water-soluble molecular compounds are substances that can dissolve in water. They have properties such as high solubility in water, ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, and often being polar in nature. These compounds are commonly used in various applications such as pharmaceuticals, food additives, and cosmetics due to their ability to easily mix with water and interact with biological systems.

Acid and base when mixed in equal concentration neutralize each other.So if the water has both in equal concentration the water will not show the properties of the acid or the base.if any one i.e. acid or base is higher in concentration than the other the water will show its properties.
