Across
- 3. The amount of energy required to convert 1 gram of a liquid into a gas
- 4. The ability of ice to act as a barrier that slows down the loss of heat from the water beneath it helping to maintain a stable environment for aquatic life during winter
- 7. The resistance of a substance such as water to changes in temperature contributing to the regulation of climate and body temperature in organisms
- 8. The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1°C Water's high specific heat allows it to stabilize environmental temperatures
- 12. A substance that can dissolve a wide variety of solutes
- 14. A weak bond between two molecules, where a hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to an electronegative atom in another molecule, common in water molecules
- 15. The attraction between molecules of the same substance such as water molecules sticking together
- 16. The characteristic of a molecule having distinct positive and negative ends leading to
Down
- 1. A homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances where a solute is dissolved in a solvent such as saltwater.
- 2. The attraction between molecules of different substances such as water molecules sticking to a glass surface
- 5. The tightness on the surface of water caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules making the surface act like a stretched elastic sheet
- 6. A substance that is dissolved in a solvent
- 9. A measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. Pure water has a pH of 7 making it neutral
- 10. The ability of water to flow in narrow spaces against gravity, which occurs due to a combination of cohesive and adhesive forces
- 11. The mass of a substance per unit volume
- 13. The measure of a fluid's resistance to flow
