Source: https://www.britannica.com/science/evaporation OpenStax Biology 2e Water also has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy required to change one gram of a liquid substance to a gas. A considerable amount of heat energy (586 cal) is required to accomplish this change in water. This process occurs on the water's surface. As liquid water … Continue reading Water’s Heat of Vaporization

Related Posts Photo by Ave Calvar Martinez on Pexels.com OpenStax Biology 2e Water’s high heat capacity is a property that hydrogen bonding among water molecules causes. Water has the highest specific heat capacity of any liquids. We define specific heat as the amount of heat one gram of a substance must absorb or lose to change its … Continue reading Water’s High Heat Capacity

Hydrogen bonding makes ice less dense than liquid water. The (a) lattice structure of ice makes it less dense than the liquid water's freely flowing molecules, enabling it to (b) float on water.

Oil and water do not mix. As this macro image of oil and water shows, oil does not dissolve in water but forms droplets instead. This is because it is a non-polar compound. (credit: Gautam Dogra). OpenStax Biology 2e One of water’s important properties is that it is composed of polar molecules: the hydrogen and … Continue reading Polarity of Water
