What contributes to water's unique properties as a universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior? Hydrogen is

a special element that does not have neutrons. The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms. The properties are related to the crystalline structure of liquid water. The properties are related to the high electronegativity of hydrogen atoms. i think is B

Answer:

The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

The uniqueness of water as a chemical substance is attriuted to its unique properties. These properties include being a universal solvent, having a high specific heat (temperature moderator), cohesive and adhesive nature etc.

This wonderful properties of water is due to its POLAR nature, which is when a substance has both positively and negatively charged parts to it. This is possible because the oxygen atoms (O) of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms (H).

This POLARITY of water molecule is responsible for the HYDROGEN BONDING between water molecules and hence, contributes to the properties of water mentioned in the question (universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior)

Does the enzyme make the reaction occur faster
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

2. When diffusion has reached equilibrium, we say that
madam [21]

Answer:

See Below.

Explanation:

The key word here is <em>net. </em>The net movement has reached zero when a system is in equilibrium but there are still motion's going back and forth due to statistics and just random brownian motion.

Think of it this way, if there are 100 people walking forwards in a crowd but 2 are moving against the crowd, the net movement is still forwards because the bulk of people are going in that direction. However, there are still 2 people moving against.

Same here, if we are talking about a diffusion, let's say in the case of osmosis, if most of the solute is moving across a membrane then we'd say its net direction is that way but that doesn't mean that there aren't processes happening in the other direction. Water molecules in osmosis mostly diffuse, chemically speaking (because you can say this biologically in a different way), from the probability of water molecules colliding with each other and passing the membrane so even if there is a net movement in a certain way their random motion can make them go to the other side just as well. If the fact that motion stops at equilibrium were the case a lot of systems, both chemical and biological, would not exist as we know it.

Think net = bulk <u>NOT</u> <em>total</em> or <em>entire.</em>
