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

which tested most effervescent was when the soda water was under cold temperatures and the least effervescent temperature was when the soda water was warm. When left standing without the lid‚ the soda water proved to be least effervescent. As seen in the above graph‚ under cold temperatures‚ ‘Schweppes’ demonstrated that it was the most effervescent‚ but under warm and room temperatures ‘Woolworths’ brand was most effervescent.
