During the winter Lake Michigan freezes over trapping the living organisms under a sheet of solid ice. As the temperature drops the hydrogen bonds between water molecules get locked into a crystalline lattice.

Which of the following can be attributed to the fact that the

bottom of the lake doesn't freeze solid?

• Water expands as it solidifies making ice water less dense than liquid water.

• Hydrogen bonds are constantly breaking and reforming.

• The organisms' metabolic activity produces enough heat to prevent solidification.

• The solutes distributed in the lake have a higher freezing point.

• The hydration shell surround the ice prevents it from extending past the surface.

Which of the following is directly responsible for water being liquid at room temperature?

• Covalent bonds are weaker than hydrogen bonds

• Water has a high heat capacity

• Hydrogen bonds link water molecules together

• Water is a universal solvent

• Water is stable due to strong covalent bonds

Water sustains life on Earth by all of the following properties EXCEPT

• low surface tension from double covalent bonds

• strong capillary action from cohesion and adhesion

• neutral pH from the equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions

• ability to act as a universal solvent because of the polarity of the H2O molecule

• low density of its solid form because of hydrogen bonds
