Properties of Water
What is polarity?
Water has a high heat of vaporization, and the molecules with the highest kinetic energy leaves as gas.
What is evaporative cooling?
The study of compounds with covalently bonded carbon
What is organic chemistry?
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen arranged in a chain of hydrogens and a head of carbons
What are lipids?
Attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind
What is cohesion?
As water solidifies, it expands and becomes less dense
What is floating ice?
Compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen
What are organic compounds?
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen arranged in rings, their names usually end in "ose"
The clinging of one molecule to a different molecule
What is adhesion?
Dissolving agent in a solution (water)
What is a solvent?
What are functional groups?
The upward movement of water due to the forces of cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension
What is capillary action?
Substance that is dissolved
What is a solute?
H2O resists changes in temperature
What is high specific heat?
The partially negative oxygen in water will interact with a positive atom, and the partially positive hydrogen in water will interact with a negative atom
What is an ionic compound?
Breaks bonds in a polymer by adding H2O
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
