Question

Below are the seven properties of water that make life possible on Earth. Describe five of these properties and provide an example of each: Hydrogen bonding, cohesion and adhesion, surface tension, heat of vaporization, specific heat, density, and universal solvent

Answer 1

Answer:

Properties of water are given below.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is an important bond which occurs between two water molecules which make them sticky due to partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen. Cohesion and adhesion occurs due to the attraction of partial positive and partial negative charges of hydrogen and oxygen atom. Density of water increases with the decrease in temperature and maximum at 4 degree Celsius and after further decrease in temperature, decrease in density occurs which is a unique property of water. water is a universal solvent because a large amount of solutes can be dissolved in it. Heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat required to transform liquid into vapors.Water has a heat of vaporization about 40.65 kJ/mol.
