5 properties of water |
1. high specific heat 2. cohesive 3. Density 4. Universal Solvent 5. Neutral pH |
|
|
Specific heat |
-water resists changes in temperature -keeps things from freezing or overheating too easily |
|
|
Cohesive Properties |
1. Cohesion 2. Adhesion 3. Capillary Action 4. Surface Tension |
|
|
Cohesion |
Attraction between similar materials |
|
|
Surface tension |
a force within the surface layer of the liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet. -allows insects to walk on water |
|
|
Adhesion |
Attraction between molecules of different substances. -water moving up a tree |
|
|
Capillary action |
Water moves up thin tubes -water moves up in plants from the roots to the leaves |
|
|
Density |
the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up (volume) D=M/V |
|
|
Universal Solvent |
Does the dissolving |
|
|
Neutral pH |
-a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. -ranges from 0-14 0-very acidic 7-neutral : PURE WATER 14-very basic |
