Water has many unique properties that make life possible on Earth. One property is cohesion. The cohesion property is properly defined as the binding of water molecules by hydrogen bonds. Water has this property as a result of the chemical bonding between water. Cohesion of the strong hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to stick together‚ almost as a unit of one. A force exerted on one of the molecules will be exerted on all of the adjacent molecules as a result of cohesion. Cohesion‚ often

Drew Staples 6/12/14 Properties of water Question Does mixing water with other substances change it’s boiling point. Research The boiling point of a liquid is when the temperature causes the vapor pressure to be equal to the air. Air density will change waters boiling point. High altitudes give water a lower boiling point. Hypothesis If the water is less dense then it will boil faster and the boiling point will be lower. Materials 1 Pot A Sink A Stove 1 tablespoon of sugar 1

One property of water that makes life possible on earth is its solid state‚ (frozen).Water is less dense as a solid than it is as a liquid‚ which enables ice to float. When its temperature falls below 4 degrees Celsius‚ the molecules slow down to a point where they are not moving fast enough in order to break the hydrogen bonds‚ therefore making the bonds more stable. The bonds then are farther apart‚ making the solid less dense. Water is one of the few molecules that has this property‚ allowing

Before I was able to determine if Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) should be banned from use or not‚ I had to find out what exactly DHMO was. Dihydrogen Monoxide‚ also known as Dihydrogen Oxide‚ Hydrogen Hydroxide‚ Hydronium Hydroxide‚ or simply Hydric acid‚ is a colorless‚ odorless and tasteless chemical compound. It has a boiling point of 10ºC (212ºF) and a melting point of 0ºC (32ºF). Some of the dangers associated with Dihydrogen Monoxide are severe tissue damage due to prolonged exposure to its solid
