Hydrogen bonds holding water molecules together is called
Cohesion
Attraction between different substances
Adhesion
The measure of how hard it is to break the surface of a liquid
Surface tension
The amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1g of that substance to change its temperature by 1*C
Specific heat
As a liquid evaporates, its remaining surface cools
Evaporative cooling
A stable suspension of fine particles in a liquid
Colloid
Moles of solute per liter of solution
Molarity
1 mole of daltons=
1g
Substances that minimize changes in concentrations of H+ and OH- in a solution
Buffers
Four of water’s properties that facilitate an environment for life are
Cohesive behavior
Ability to moderate temperature
Expansion upon freezing
