Universal Solvent
Why is Water the Universal Solvent
It dissolves a bunch of things easily
Is weathering bad?
Its good and bad so technically no.
does water have a high specific heat
yea it does
the physical property of a liquid that makes its surface behave like a stretched elastic film.
What temperature does water turn into a solid
Water freezes at 0c
How does temperature affect solubility?
For most solid solutes, increasing the temperature of the water increases its kinetic energy, allowing the solvent to break more bonds and dissolve a greater amount of the solute.
What is Weathering
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals in place on Earth's surface. It is distinct from erosion, which is the physical movement of those weathered materials by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
What does the structure of waterfall resemble?
What is capillary Action?
the spontaneous movement of a liquid through narrow spaces or porous materials without needing external forces like gravity.
What temp does water turn to gas
At 100 c
What can it not dissolve?
Water cannot dissolve non-polar substances. Common examples include oils, fats, and waxes. When mixed, water and non-polar substances will typically separate rather than dissolve
What is chemical weathering?
the breakdown or alteration of rocks and minerals at or near the Earth's surface through chemical reactions.
How many oxygen atoms are there in water
Surface tension is the inward pull on a liquid's surface, acting like a flexible skin. Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow through narrow spaces against gravity.
Is plasma a phase of water
Yes Its just not common
What can it dissolve?
Water excels at dissolving other polar substances and ionic compounds (like salt).
How do rocks weather
when exposed to the elements, breaking down into smaller pieces or altering their chemical makeup over time.
does oxygen have a positive charge in water
No it has a negative one
What is the purpose of capillary action.
draws liquids upward through narrow spaces or porous materials against the force of gravity.
How many phases of water are there
There are 4 including plasma
what is salt weathering?
a form of physical rock breakdown
How many Hydrogen
2
What is the purpose of surface tension?
makes the surface of a liquid act like a stretched, elastic film.
What phases of water is Water
Liquid
