Properties Of Water

The video explores the fundamental properties of water, including its role as a solvent, its molecular structure, and its unique ability to act as both an acid and a base. It discusses the concept of hydrogen bonding and why water has a higher boiling point than other substances like methanol. The video also highlights water's potential in the development of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source, emphasizing the challenges and future possibilities in this area.

Why does water have a higher boiling point compared to methanol?

• Because water has a lower molecular weight

• Due to the presence of hydrogen bonding

• Due to the presence of metal ions

• Because water is a non-polar molecule

Which of the following substances is NOT likely to dissolve in water?

• Lipids

• Sodium chloride

• Hydrochloric acid

• Sodium hydroxide

What is the term used to describe substances that do not mix well with water?

• Hydrophobic

• Polar

• Ionic

• Hydrophilic

How can water act in chemical reactions?

• Only as a base

• Only as an acid

• As both an acid and a base

• As neither an acid nor a base

What is a potential future use of water discussed in the video?

• As a replacement for all industrial solvents

• As a source of hydrogen fuel

• As a new form of solid fuel

• As a primary source of hydrocarbons
