Properties of Water

Bellwork
1. Why are water molecules
attracted to each other?
2. What are the oxygen and
hydrogen molecules sharing in a
water molecule?
3. Which bond is stronger: a
hydrogen bond or a covalent
bond?
Water
We talked about 4 properties of
water yesterday:
cohesion
adhesion
surface tension
solvent
Water
Today, we’ll investigate two more
important properties of water...
capillary action
and
specific heat capacity
Capillary Action
Inside a tube,
water molecules
are attracted to
themselves and the
sides of the tube.
The smaller the
diameter of the
tube, the higher
water climbs.

Capillary Action
This
property is
why plants
can get
water up to
the top of
the plant
without
energy.

Specific Heat Capacity
Heat added
to a
substance
should result
in a
temperature
change in the
substance.

Specific Heat Capacity
If the temperature
outside the water
changes, it takes
quite a bit of
energy or change
in temperature to
make the
temperature of
water change.

Specific Heat Capacity
Which gets hot
first: the water
or the pot?
