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
The absorption of water is not a chemical reaction.
This chemical reaction is called dehydration.
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.
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.
Heating is a chemical phenomenon.
The absorption of water is not a chemical 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.
It is not a chemical reaction.
The chemical reaction of water with sodium is a chemical change.
This chemical reaction is called dehydration.
Yes, it is a chemical reaction.
Its a chemical reaction :]

No. It is a physical process, so it technically isn't a reaction.
Heating is a chemical phenomenon.
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.
