2.5 Water Properties Flashcards
Cohesion
H bonding between 2 water molecules (H2o) which creates surface tension
Adhesion
H bonding between H2O and other substances
Adhesion creates
capillary action which is when water can move up or climb up
a special case of ice
ice and water
ice
hydrogen bonds are stable
water
hydrogen bonds are breaking and reforming
surface ice insulates water below which is why
ice floats
seasonal turnover
warmer water on top, cold water on bottom, cycle nutrients
most dense to least dense
liquid, solid, gas
water is the solvent of life
solvents dissolve solutes creating solutions
polarity makes H2O a good what
a good solvent
hydrophilic
substances that attract to H2O will be polar
hydrophoibc
nonpolar won’t dissolve in H2O
High specific heat
amount of energy it takes to heat up 1 gram of a substance by 1 Celsius
H2o has a spefiic heat
resists changes in temperature
