Q

Why does water racists change

A

The specific heat. Water resist change because it’s temperature is high of specific heat.
High specific heat because of hydrogen bonding

Q

Heat of vaporization

A

Transfer of a substance from liquid to gas.

Amount of heat that a liquid must absorb for 1g to be converted

17
Q

Solution

A

Liquid that is completely homogenous mixture of substances

18
Q

Aqueous solution

A

Water is the solvent of a solution

19
Q

Cohesion of water

A

Collectively hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together -Cohesion

20
Q

Adhesion

A

An attraction between different substances for example between water and plant cell walls

21
Q

Why does ice float

A

Hydrogen bonds are more ordered when frozen making ice less dense

Water reaches greatest density at 4•Celsius

22
Q

Do strong acids and strong bases disassociate completely in water

A

Yes

23
Q

pH = -(-7)=7

A

10^-7 neutral

24
Q

What type of bond is water?

What type of molecule is it and why?

A

Covalent bond and polar molecule.
The hydrogen and oxygen share electron.
The hydrogen spends more time with the oxygen.
