01. PROPERTIES OF WATER JEDI TRAINING

Front

What is the specific heat of water?

Back

Water has a high specific heat, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature changes significantly.

Front

What happens if water had a low specific heat?

Back

Organisms that are sensitive to changes in temperature would die.

Front

What is cohesion in the context of water?

Back

Cohesion is water's ability to stick to itself due to hydrogen bonding.

Front

Why do small insects walk on water without sinking?

Back

They are light enough not to break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together.

Front

What is the reason ice floats on water?

Back

Ice is less dense than liquid water.

Front

What property of water allows it to move from roots to leaves in plants?

Back

Water exhibits cohesive behavior.

Front

What is adhesion in relation to water?

Back

Adhesion is water's ability to stick to other substances.

Front

How does water's high specific heat benefit aquatic ecosystems?

Back

It helps maintain stable temperatures in aquatic environments, protecting organisms.

Front

What is the significance of water being a polar molecule?

Back

Its polarity allows it to dissolve many substances, making it an excellent solvent.

Front

What role does water play in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is a reactant in photosynthesis, providing hydrogen and oxygen for glucose production.
