4.5 Flashcards
cohesion
h bonding between two of the same molecules
adhesion
h bonding between at least two difference substances
solvent
dissolves solutes creating solutions
heat of vaporization
how much takes 1g of water to evaporate
specific heat
amount of energy it takes to heat up 1g of a substance by 1C.
Ice less dense than water
property of water
hydrophobic things attract to water
not a property of water
how does water’s polarity affect it?
polarity makes a good solvent and good at forming hydrogen bonds, both cohesion and adhesion.
what makes up ice and keeps it together?
hydrogen bonds
how does water’s solubility help it?
water is soluble with anything to help break it down and also helps transport stuff like nutrients through our body.
What about water can help maintain body temperature?
it’s specific heat is high so it can resist changes in temperature
