What is the 6 properties of water?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

1. High specific heat: Water can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature changes.
2. Cohesion: Water molecules stick together due to hydrogen bonding.
3. Adhesion: Water molecules can stick to other substances.
4. Surface tension: Water has a high surface tension due to cohesive forces between molecules.
5. Universal solvent: Water can dissolve a wide variety of substances.
6. High heat of vaporization: Water requires a lot of heat to evaporate.
