Properties of water review

Why can fish survive winters in a pond?

• ice is less dense than liquid water so it will be on the top of a lake or pond allowing fish to swim beneath it

• water is available in all 3 phases so ice will be on the top of a lake or pond allowing fish to swim beneath it

• water is polar so ice will be on the top of a lake or pond allowing fish to swim beneath it

• Adhesion so ice will be on the top of a lake or pond allowing fish to swim beneath it

How close or far you are from an ocean affects...

• climate

• polarity

• cohesion

• adhesion

Water has a high specific heat which means it can hold a great deal of thermal energy without rapidly increasing in temperature. What will this affect?

• Cities that are close to Oceans and large lakes

• Cities that are near ponds or rivers

• Deserts far from oceans

Why is water so good at dissolving so many substances?

• it is polar

• it is less dense as a solid

• cohesion

• adhesion

Which of these terms means that water molecule stick to other water molecules?

• cohesion

• adhesion

• specific heat

• polarity

Water has a slightly positive end AND a slightly negative end, this means water has

• polarity

• cohesion

• adhesion

• specific heat

Water sticks to other substances like your hair, or a leaf because of which property?

• adhesion

• cohesion

• polarity

• specific heat

Water can hold a great deal of heat and help moderate the climate of a nearby landmass because of which property?

• specific heat

• cohesion

• adhesion

• polarity

Refer to the picture; this is occurring because of:

• Adhesion
• Cohesion

Describe COHESION.

• Water molecules attracted to other substances.

• Water molecules climbing upwards against the force of gravity.

• Water molecules dissolving many substances because of its polarity.

• Water molecules attracted to other water molecules.
