Properties of Water and Acids & Bases Flashcardizz Review Assignment

Front

What is surface tension?

Back

The tightness across the surface of water that enables objects, like paper clips, to float.

Front

What is the pH range of bases?

Back

pH greater than 7.

Front

Define cohesion in the context of water.

Back

Water molecules attracted to other water molecules.

Front

What is capillary action?

Back

The ability of water to move through narrow spaces, pulling water molecules like a chain.

Front

What does adhesive mean in relation to water?

Back

The water molecules stick to other surfaces.

Front

What is the pH range of acids?

Back

pH less than 7.

Front

Explain polarity in water molecules.

Back

Water molecules have a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other, making them polar.

Front

What is the significance of water's high specific heat?

Back

It allows water to absorb a lot of heat without a significant change in temperature, stabilizing climates.

Front

How does water's density change when it freezes?

Back

Ice is less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float.

Front

What is the role of water in plant transport?

Back

Water moves from roots to leaves through capillary action and cohesion.
