Universal Solvent Cohesion and Adhesion Density pH
100
Water can dissolve more chemicals than any other liquid
Why is water called a universal solvent?
100
The force that sticks water to water and water to other substances
What is cohesion and adhesion?
100
The weight or thickness of a material
What is density?
100
The measurement of how acidic or basic something is
What is pH?
200
It can hold chemicals, minerals and nutrients that are important to us
Why is the universal solvent important?
200
The movement of water, caused by adhesion, cohesion and surface tension
What is capillary action?
200
It decreases by about 9%
What happens to water's density when it's frozen?
200
x100 as acidic
What is the difference of acidity of pH of 5 compared to a pH of 7?
300
They are both polar compounds but the water compound is stronger
What is the reason for salt dissolving quickly in water?
300
Capillary action allows for plants to distribute the water they absorb from the ground into their whole bodies
How do plants use capillary action?
300
The chemical structure spreads out
Why is ice less dense than water?
300
Polution
What can pH indicate in natural water?
400
When one part of the compound is positively charged, while the other is negatively charged
What is a polar arrangement?
400
Cohesion clumps the water and adhesion sticks it to objects
Why do water drops stick to things?
400
It lowers
What happens to the density of water when it is heated?
400
0, while 14 is the most basic
What is the most acidic number on a pH scale?
500
The water carries and takes away the excess chemicals out, after they've been filtered
How does the solvent property become important to our kidneys' filtering process?
500
Using capillary action, the tears climb up small tubes to get into your eyes
How do tears get to our eyes?
500
If it wasn't so dense, river's and lakes could freeze from the bottom and wouldn't thaw, even in the summer
What makes the density of water so important?
500
It can determine if the living conditions are good enough to sustain life (like fish)
What is the importance of pH to living things?
