Water is the most abundant molecule on Earth’s surface. It is essential for life on Earth. The unique properties of water makes life possible on earth. One property of water is surface tension. Water has a surface tension 2 – 4 times the surface tension of most organic liquids. Surface tension is highest for pure water. This enables insects called neuston to walk and live on the surface of water in low-nutrient water bodies‚ where they would starve if immersed in the water. This anomaly permits

Name: ______________________________________ Date: ____________ Properties of Water Lab Introduction: Water is a simple molecule‚ yet itʼs most vital to all living things. It has the highest specific heat of everyday substances. Unique properties of water enable it to carry out functions that no other substances can. In a neutral aqueous solution‚ five molecules of water are bonded together by weak hydrogen bonds. Furthermore‚ due to the electronegativity of oxygen‚ water is a polar molecule. Due

Physical and Chemical Properties Chem 107 6-4-2013 A pure substance or chemical substance is a material that is homogeneous. It has consistent properties throughout the sample.” Pure substances can be described by both physical and chemical properties”. Physical properties can include‚ color‚ odor‚ melting point‚ boiling point‚ and solubility in various solvents‚ etc. The observation of these physical properties does not involve any chemical change in the substance‚ it is still the same

CHAPTER 3 COLONIES TAKE ROOT 1587-1752 Section 1: The First English Settlements I. England Seeks Colonies -Like most of Europe in the age of exploration‚ England was a monarchy. However‚ in England‚ the power of the king or queen was limited by law and by a lawmaking body called Parliament. -Ever since the 1200s‚ English law had limited the king’s power. The king could set new taxes only with Parliament’s consent. Still‚ the king’s powers were much greater than those of
