Summary Introduction
To review:
The chemical properties of water that is the basis for a study to consume at least eight glasses of water in a day.
Introduction:
Water is a colorless, transparent and odorless liquid. It is a chemical compound that consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. It is the basis of the body fluids of living organisms. It forms rivers, lakes, seas, and rain.

Which of the following statements explains why oils are liquid at room temperature whereas fats are solid?
A group of students designed an experiment to determine the impact of sucrose concentration on the weight of potato cubes. The pieces of potato were initially the same weight, shape, and size. Each potato piece was submerged into a beaker containing one of the sucrose concentrations for 30 minutes. The final weight of the potato was measured and recorded in the table.
Which TWO conclusions can be correctly drawn from this data?
A
In the 0.4 mol/dm3 solution, the sucrose molecules moved across the semi-permeable membrane to go from a lower solute concentration (the potato) to a higher solute concentration (the sucrose solution), leading to a decrease in the weight of the potato.
B
In the 1 mol/dm3 solution, the water molecules moved across a semi-permeable membrane to go from a lower solute concentration (the potato) to a higher solute concentration(the sucrose solution), leading to a decrease in weight of the potato.
C
In the 0.8 mol/dm3 solution, the sucrose molecules moved…
