Slav-nsk [51]
Water (H
2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the "universal solvent" [18][19] and the "solvent of life".[20] It is the most abundant substance on Earth[21] and the only common substance to exist as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth's surface.[22] It is also the third most abundant molecule in the universe.[21]

Explain how there can be more heat energy in an iceburg than in a pot of boiling water
vlada-n [284]

Heat energy is the amount of heat there is in a substance. This may be cold heat or warm heat. Temperature is how hot or cold a substance is. So because there is a higher volume of heat in the iceberg, we say it has more heat energy.
