Water Properties With Pictures
temperature at which water freezes
0 degrees C, 32 degrees F
temperature at which water boils
100 degrees C, 212 degrees F
Which water property forms the meniscus?
Adhesion
Which water property permits water to be transported up tall trees?
Capillary Action
pH scale
hydrogen ion concentration of a solution acids contain more H+ ions and contain a pH less than 7 bases contain more OH- ions contain a pH greater than 7 7 is considered as neutral and contains equal H+ and OH- ions
when water freezes its volume
increases
transpiration
loss of water from a plant through its leaves
High Specific Heat
the ability of the water molecule to heat more slowly and cool more slowly than other substances
Capillary Action
the ability of water to move against the pull of gravity against a solid due to both cohesion and adhesion
Cohesion
the water molecule can stick to itself
Adhesion
the water molecule can stick to other things
Polarity
the water molecule has both positive (H+) and negative (O-) regions
Solid Is Less Dense
this is caused because the H ions are pushed further apart when water freezes
Water Molecule
this is the Lewis Dot Structure for the water molecule
High Surface Tension
this water property is caused by cohesion, it allows the water molecules to have a higher force of attraction on outer surfaces
Universal Solvent
water dissolve more substances than any other known substance
condensation
The change from a gas to a liquid
evaporation
The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
Which water property causes sweat to cool the body?
High Specific Heat
Which water property allows insects to walk on water?
High Surface Tension
Which water property allows for the mixing kool-aid mix and water?
Universal Solvent
