- 6. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is the CORRECT list of water's properties?
Read Carefully!
adhesion, cohesion, high specific heat, universal solvent
adhesion, cohesion, low specific heat, universal solvent
adhesion, no cohesion, low specific heat, universal solute
no adhesion, cohesion, high specific heat, universal solute
- 7. Multiple Choice
You body sweats to help prevent you from overheating. How does water regulate temperature?
it lets heat pass through it
it absorbs a lot of heat, then decreases in temperature
it absorbs a lot of heat, but only increases a little in temperature
heat is afraid of water and avoids it
- 8. Multiple Choice
Water is polar. What does that mean?
it is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends
it is a molecule with no charge
it is a molecule with identical charges on opposite ends
it is a molecule with too many protons
- 9. Multiple Choice
Water sticks well to many materials. What term relates to this property of water?
cohesion
adhesion
density
surface tension
- 10. Multiple Choice
What is the term for water's ability to defy gravity and climb up a tube?
Capillary Action
Specific Heat
Universal Solvent
Magic
- 11. Multiple Choice
Why does ice float?
water expands when it freezes, making ice less dense than water
water compacts when it freezes, making ice more dense than water
hydrogen bonds in water push the ice to the surface
ice is afraid of water, and avoids it
- 12. Multiple Choice
What are the bonds called between a slightly positive hydrogen in a polar molecule and a negatively charged atom?
Hydrogen Bonds
Water Bonds
Covalent Bonds
Bail Bonds
- 13. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is the correct molecular structure for water, H2O?
- 14. Multiple Choice
A water strider can skate along the top of a pond because:
covalent bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)
hydrogen bonds result in water cohesion (surface tension)
water striders have adapted to take advantage of water cohesion
water striders are afraid of water and avoid it
- 15. Multiple ChoiceLarge bodies of water do not quickly fluctuate in temperature. Why?Water is a solvent.Water has a high heat capacity.Water acts as a buffer.Water is non-polar.
- 16. Multiple ChoiceWater is a universal solvent because it...It can be found anywhereIt freezes when it gets coldfloats when frozenDissolves most substances
- 17. Multiple ChoiceThe fact that ice floats on liquid water is due to the fact that water's solid is ___________ than it's liquid formless polarmore polarless densemore dense
- 18. Multiple ChoiceWater has a much higher specific heat than most other covalent compounds. What do you predict might happen if water had a low specific heat instead?Flooding would occur and animals would be forced to migrateHarmful organisms living in water would reproduce at a rapid rateOrganisms that are sensitive to changes in temperature would diePlants would not have enough water to effectively carry out photosynthesis
