Properties of water Flashcards
Due to polarity water exhibits…(5 things)
- Cohesion
- Adhesion
- High specific heat capacity / high vaporization
- Universal solvent
- Less dense as a solid
What is cohesion
(sticks to self)
What is adhesion
(sticks to other things)
How is polarity involved in cohesion
Cohesion – H-bonds
How is polarity involved in adhesion
H-bonds / dipole attractions
How is polarity involved in High specific heat capacity / high vaporization
H-bonds
How is polarity involved in Universal solvent
Polarity
How is polarity involved in when it is less dense as a solid
H bonds & bent shape
Which property is it when Water comes of the tap in a stream?
cohesion
What property is it when humans sweat to cool their core body temperature
High heat capacity
What property is it when water boils at 100℃ & methane (CH4) at -161 ℃
High heat vaporization
What property is it when water “climbs” up pant legs on a rainy day
adhesion
What property is it when lakes freeze from the top to the bottom
less dense as solid
What property is it when sugar is a solute in Coke & Pepsi
universal solvent
