it takes a long time of warm temperatures to raise lake water several degrees
6.
Which property of water is illustrated by the picture below?
a)
polarity
b)
surface tension
7.
Which property of water is responsible in causing salt to dissolve in it?
a)
polarity
b)
surface tension
8.
Which property of water allows it to form droplets?
a)
adhesion
b)
cohesion
9.
Which property of water causes water molecules to stick together?
a)
capillarity
b)
cohesion
10.
Water makes an upward curved meniscus in a graduated cylinder. What property of water accounts for the attraction of the water to the glass?
a)
adhesion
b)
cohesion
11.
Which property of water is illustrated in the setup below?
a)
capillarity
b)
cohesion
12.
Why does water boil at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit?
a)
density
b)
heat capacity
13.
Why does ice stay on the surface of the water?
a)
ice is as dense as liquid water
b)
liquid water is denser than ice
14.
Why does ice become less dense than liquid water?
a)
When water freezes and becomes ice, the polarity causes hydrogen bonds to form but there is air in between causing it to expand.
b)
When water freezes and becomes ice, the capillarity causes covalent bonds to form making it lighter.
15.

a)
capillarity
b)
density
16.
Why does sweat make us feel cooled?

sweat carries the heat as it evaporates
17.
Which property of water is shown in the picture below?
a)
capillarity
b)
density
18.
Why does the direction of the breeze change from daytime and nighttime?
a)
difference in specific heat between water and land
b)
difference in surface tension between water and land
19.
What happens to water vapor when it turns back to liquid?
a)
it loses heat
b)
it consumes energy
20.
Which property of water is shown by the picture below?
a)
