Water has several properties which make it ideal for chemical reactions.
1.) High Specific Heat
- Water absorbs a great deal of heat for every molecule of water present because of the large amount of Hydrogen Bonds.
2.) Polarity
- H20 is a polar molecule, this allows it to dissolve any other polar molecule because it has both a negatively charged and a positively charged end.
3.) Neutral overall pH
- Water is the basis for the pH scale with a neutral pH of 7
What else can I help you with?
What physical reaction happens when water is drying with a chemical?
The absorption of water is not a chemical reaction.
What is the chemical reaction called where water is removed during the reaction?
This chemical reaction is called dehydration.
Is saltwater a chemical reaction?
Adding salt to water is not a chemical reaction, nor is it a chemical change. When salt dissolves in water, this is an example of a physical change. Although the sodium and chlorine ions separate in the water, no chemical reaction takes place.
Is cornstarch mixed with water a chemical reaction?
No, mixing cornstarch with water is not a chemical reaction. It is a physical change. The cornstarch particles disperse throughout the water, but no new substances are formed.
Is cold water to hot water a chemical reaction?
Heating is a chemical phenomenon.
What physical reaction happens when water is drying with a chemical?
The absorption of water is not a chemical reaction.
Is water a chemical reaction or a physical reaction?
Water is not a reaction at all. If you mean to ask if a state change in water is chemical or physical, it is physical.
Is dissoulution of sodium chloride in water a chemical reaction?
It is not a chemical reaction.
What is the chemical reaction called where water is removed during the reaction?
This chemical reaction is called dehydration.
What is the chemical change of water?
The chemical reaction of water with sodium is a chemical change.
Pb plus sea water chemical reaction?
Yes, it is a chemical reaction.
Is saltwater a chemical reaction?

Of a kettle boils and water turns to steam is it a chemical or physical reaction?
Its a chemical reaction :]
Is cornstarch mixed with water a chemical reaction?
No, mixing cornstarch with water is not a chemical reaction. It is a physical change. The cornstarch particles disperse throughout the water, but no new substances are formed.
Is the reaction between NaOH and water Chemical?
No. It is a physical process, so it technically isn't a reaction.
Is cold water to hot water a chemical reaction?
Heating is a chemical phenomenon.
What kind of chemical reaction is waterfall?
A waterfall is a physical process, not a chemical reaction. It involves the flow of water over terrain due to gravity, and does not involve a chemical change in the water molecules themselves.
