16
Q

high SHC

A

means that the sun don’t cause the water to boil and all the fish to be boiled alive. also means optimum temp can be maintained

17
Q

polar solvent

A

charged ions can be dissolved within it and therefore water can be used as a medium to carry ions. as u can see many ions are essential for life

18
Q

high LHV

A

-means that doesnt change into steam easy
-top layer only heats up and it going off as steam actually has a cooling effect w/o losing tm water

19
Q

cohesion

A

-b/w water molecules
-means surface tension between water and air so insects can walk on water
-useful in transpiration water stream

20
Q

adhesion

A

-water sticks to its container
-useful in transportation up the xylem

21
Q

density

A

max density 4 degrees so ice floats

22
Q

incompresibility

A

speaks for itself

23
Q

partial charges between water

A

-diff in electronegativity
-induced dipole or VDW
-electrons closer to oxygen
-dipoles don’t cancel out
-polar

24
Q

monosacharides

A

-glucose
-galactose
-fructose

25
Q

glucose + galactose

A

lactose

26
Q

glucose and fructose

A

sucrose

27
Q

glucose and glucose (both alpha)

A

maltose

28
Q

how do disaccharides form

A

in a condensation reaction between 2 monosaccharides resulting in a molecule of water made
