Properties of Water1
This property of water explains why a water droplet sticks to a car window
This property of water means water droplets stick together
Cohesion
Waters ability to climb up thin tubes
Capillarity
Water is slow to heat due to its
High specific heat
What is the chemical formula of water?
H2O
What physical state is water in when it evaporates? (liquid/solid/gas)
gas
Ice floats because...
It is less dense than water
What bond holds a water molecule together
Hydrogen bond
What physical state is water in when it freezes? (liquid/solid/gas)
solid
What charges do the elements in water have (give me the name of the element and it's charge)
Hydrogen - Positive
Oxygen - Negative
Capillary action happens because of what 2 properties of water
Cohesion and Adhesion
When making lemonade, water would be considered what?
The solvent
When making lemonade, sugar would be considered what?
Solute
Water leaving the leaf of a plant
Transpiration
What is something that is hydrophobic?
Water has a negative oxygen and 2 positive hydrogens. The difference in charges makes water what kind of molecule?
Polar
This property of water is responsible for bugs ability to walk on water
Surface Tension
What physical state is water in when it melts? (liquid/solid/gas)
liquid
This measuring tool helps scientists to decide the acidity of a substance
pH scale
The attraction of one water molecules Hydrogen to another water molecules Oxygen
Hydrogen bond
Water can dissolve many substances (universal solvent) due to which property of water?
Polarity
Water's ability to dissolve many substances is due to its polarity, making it known as this.
Universal Solvent
Water has a special heat capacity, meaning it takes a while for the temperature to change. This property helps regulate temperature on Earth. What is it?
Moderation of Temperature
This word means "water-fearing" or "afraid of water"
hydrophobic
When put in a freezer, waters hydrogen bonds separate, causing ice to be less dense than liquid water
