Water

Question 0

High boiling point

Answer 0

The temperature it takes for water to boil

Question 1

High Heat Of Vaporization

Answer 1

The amount of heat it takes for water to evaporate

5400 cal/g

Question 2

Hydrogen bonding

Answer 2

When water molecules are attracted to each other because of its polarity

Question 3

Cohesion

Answer 3

Water molecules attracted to each other

Question 4

Adhesion

Answer 4

Water molecules attracted to other substances

Question 5

Capillary Action

Answer 5

Cohesion and adhesion together create a force that brings the water upward, getting the water from the ground to the plant

Ex: celery experiment

Question 6

High surface tension

Answer 6

An Inward force or pull which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid

Question 7

Buffer

Answer 7

Help prevent student changes in pH- maintaining homeostasis (bicarbonate)

Question 8

Water

Answer 8

Most important compound to life, makes up 70-95% of most organisms, universal solvent

Question 9

Expansion on freezing

Answer 9

The water molecules expand which makes ice able to float on water

Question 10

High specific heat

Answer 10

Water is able to absorb heat which causes the temperature to change slower in places near water.

Ex:
Virginia vs Missouri
