Answer: It dissolves a variety of solutes in it.

Explanation: Water is capable of dissolving a variety of solutes in it so called as universal solvent.

It has the ability to dissolve solutes more than any other liquid. It is a very essential component of earth because water flows and carries many  nutrients and minerals dissolved in it.

It is due to its chemical composition that allows it to do so.It has a polar arrangement of oxygen which provides negative charge and hydrogen molecules provides positive charge.

This provides water the ability to dissolve many solute particles in it.

Because water is able to dissolve in many things and most of this world is made out of water so no country or state doesn't have water, some have infected water with lead in them and others don't, but water can dissolve in salt, that's why they call it salt water and also tapped water where u put some mixtures in them to make it have flavor.

Explain how water might have two different densities​
MrMuchimi

Answer:

I think this is it

Water can have two different densities if it has substances dissolved in it. ... When liquid water freezes it becomes solid water or ice, which is less dense than liquid water. The fact that solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water is evident in the way ice floats in a glass of water.

The mass of water in a single popcorn kernel was found to be 0.905 grams after it popped at a temperature of 175 °C. Using the i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.583 kilojoules

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to pop a single kernel can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity of water (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

From the given information, m = 0.905 g, initial temperature (room temperature) = 21°C , final temperature = 175°C, Q = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 0.905 × 4.184 × (175°C - 21°C)

Q = 3.786 × 154

Q = 583.044 Joules

In kilojoules i.e. we divide by 1000, the amount of heat is:

= 583.04/1000

= 0.583 kilojoules
