  1. 3. a substance that is dissolved in a solvent. for example, salt is a solute when dissolved in water solution a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances, where a solute is dissolved in a solvent such as saltwater.
  2. 6. the attraction between molecules of the same substance, such as water molecules sticking together.
  3. 7. a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. pure water has a ph of 7, making it neutral
  4. 11. the tightness on the surface of water caused by cohesive forces between water molecules, making the surface act like a stretched elastic sheet
  5. 13. the measure of a fluids resistance to flow. water has low viscosity, meaning it flows easily compared to more viscous liquids like honey.
  6. 14. 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

  1. 1. 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.
  2. 2. the characteristic of a molecule having distinct positive and negative ends, leading to the formation of hydrogen bonds in water.
  3. 4. the resistsance of a substance, such as water, to changes in temperature, contributing to the regulation of climate and body temp in organisms
  4. 5. the amount of energy required to convert 1 gram of a liquid into a gas. water has a high heat of vaporization which is important in cooling mechanisms like sweating.
  5. 6. 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
  6. 8. the mass of a substance per unit volume. water is unique because its solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form, allowing ice to float.
  7. 9. the attraction between molecules of different substances, such as water molecules sticking to a glass surface.
  8. 10. a substance that can dissolvr a wide variety of solutes. water is known as the universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid.
  9. 12. the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substanced by 1c
