2.2 U.2 Hydrogen bonding and dipolarity explain the cohesive, adhesive, thermal and solvent properties of water.
Objectives:
[Students should know at least one example of a benefit to living organisms of each property of water. Transparency of water and maximum density at 4°C do not need to be included.]
- Explain three thermal properties of water that are useful to living organisms.
- Outline a benefit to life of water's high specific heat capacity.
- Outline a benefit to life of water's high latent heat of vaporization.
- Outline a benefit to life of water's high boiling point.
