Cohesion
Why can water striders skate on water?
Because of water's low surface tension
Because of water's viscosity
Because of water's cohesion
Because of water's adhesion
What makes water a powerful solvent?
Its clarity
Its specific heat
Its polarity
Its density
What happens to water when it freezes?
It expands and becomes less dense
It evaporates
It becomes a perfect crystal
It contracts and becomes denser
What is the specific heat of water?
The heat released when 1 g of water freezes
The heat needed to evaporate 1 g of water
The heat needed to freeze 1 g of water
The heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1K
How does water contribute to the cooling of animals?
By increasing humidity
By decreasing temperature directly
Through condensation
Through evaporation
The ability of water to not freeze over the world easily, or prevent it from getting to hot is called
Its high specific heat
It's high density
It allows for rapid temperature changes
It has a low boiling temperature
When water molecules are attracted to one another and stick to each other it is called:
Sweating helps you
cool down through evaporation
warm up through evaporation
cool down due to its adhesion
warm up due to cohesion
Water is a universal solvent and dissolves many molecules because
It is polar and has hydrogen bonds
It is non-polar and has hydrogen bonds
It is polar and has oxygen bonds
It is nonpolar and has oxygen bonds
Plants can "drink water" up from their roots because of both cohesion and adhesion, but we call this
hydrophilic
high heat capacity
universally solvent
capillary action
Water dissolves (mixes well) ________ molecules and not _________
nonpolar, polar
polar, nonpolar
lipids, salt
smaller, larger
