Unique characteristics of water

Question 1

High specific heat capacity and high heat of vaporization of energy

Answer 1

takes a lot of energy to increase the temp of water as well as vaporize it due to the hydrogen bonds which makes it a great regulator of temperature
protects organisms from extreme thermal fluctuations

Question 2

Unique density behavior

Answer 2

Most dense at 4 degrees Celsius and becomes less dense as it cools down which is why ice floats
protects aquatic life

Question 3

High surface tension

Answer 3

strong hydrogen bonding allows nutrients to be transported from the roots to the cavity of a plant and insects to move across the water

Question 4

Low viscosity

Answer 4

allows the blood to pass through minute capillaries and of cytoplasm inside cell boundaries

Question 5

Solvent

Answer 5

Dipolar
orients around charged particles dissolved in it
can breakdown any molecule due to its polarity as it it partially positive and negative
