What are two of the characteristics of water that make it so important in living organisms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The dissolving power of water is very important for life on Earth. Wherever water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are used to support living things. Because of their polarity, water molecules are strongly attracted to one another, which gives water a high surface tension.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Melting and boiling point variations are not clear (do not have uniform pattern) in periodic table. But we can see, some elements have higher melting and boiling points and some have less. Here we study melting and boiling points of s, p, d blocks elements. IVAth group elements (C,Si) show high melting and boiling points because they have covalent gigantic lattice structures.

An oxidation-reduction reaction that is also a synthesis reaction
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The example of a chemical combination that can also be said to be a synthesis reaction is; 2Mg(s) +O_{2} (g) -- > 2 MgO(s)

<h3>What is a synthesis reaction?</h3>

We know that the meaning of the synthesis reaction is quite central as we attempt to answer the question that is lying right before us here. If we are talking about the synthesis reaction then our mind must have to go to the kind of reaction in which there is the combination of two or more so as to produce a single compound.

As we are talking about the synthesis reaction, we would have to look at the reaction that would give rise to a single product as it has been written. Let us also recall that we have been told that the reaction is a  oxidation-reduction reaction thus there is a change in oxidation number in the process of the reaction as shown.

How can a substance stay at a certain temperature even though it is being heated?​
SOVA2 [1]
The temperature of a certain substance can be seen as the average speed of the atoms or molecules in that substance. In the liquid state of a substance the forces between the atoms or molecules are strong enough to keep them together, however with enough freedom to move, unlike in the solid state. If we would have a closer look at the surface of a liquid from sideways, we would see water molecules jumping out of the water and reentering it again. The lower the water temperature would be the lesser the amount of water molecules leaving the liquid phase would be. If water would be heated up and the temperature will reach 100 degrees C at normal atmospheric pressure, more water molecules would leave the water than reentering. Boiling has started. The temperature of the water remains at 100 degrees C, if the heating continues as the average speed of molecules will not increase, only the rate of molecules leaving the water will increase, until all the water in liquid state has been vapourized. The amount of heat needed to vapourize liquid water is called latent heat. Latent heat is a very important driving factor in the atmosphere and thus the weather.
