- Water displays many unique properties making it essential to life. Which of the following chemical characteristic confers water its unique properties? Water displays many unique properties making it essential to life. Which of the following chemical characteristic confers water its unique properties? Hydrogen bond is found within a water molecule. Water is dipolar. Water is highly electronegative. Water is abundant on Earth. Water is a small molecule that makes up of two hydrogen and one oxygen.arrow_forwardWhy does adding salt to water decrease its freezing point? Group of answer choices Salt has a lower freezing point and will therefore increase the freezing point of water Salt creates openings in the dense structure of cooling ice, which prevents the molecules from becoming so dense that they turn into ice Sodium and chloride bond with the water molecules which disrupts the formation of ice crystals Adding salt increases the energy available and movement of the water molecules which will slow down the freezing processarrow_forwardWhich substance is a molecule rather than an element? hydrogen carbon dioxide phosphorous alumínumarrow_forward

- You might have noticed that in space exploration, attention is often focused on the presence or absence of water on other planets. What characteristics of water make it as essential for life as we know it on Earth?arrow_forwardAs surface water in a lake cools from 4 °C to 0 °C, the water expands and becomes less dense. Why is this change in the water beneficial to the organisms living in the lake? As the water cools to freezing, spaces form between water molecules, providing microhabitats for small organisms. Less dense water holds more dissolved compounds, keeping water from freezing so organisms survive winter. O Cooler water is less viscous than warmer water, making it easier for organisms to move through the water. O Frozen surface water insulates the water below it, maintaining a habitat where organisms can overwinter.arrow_forwardIn chemistry, "alcohol" is a word used for a general classification of molecules. The simplest one -- methanol -- is the 1-carbon alcohol; it's quite poisonous (ingestion causes blindness!) but because it dissolves bug splat well its most common consumer use is windshield cleaner. The 2-carbon alcohol is ethanol, it's not poisonous and most common, it's the alcohol in wine, beer, and liquor. Anti- freeze used in cars (shown below) is toxic, it's made of a different 2-carbon alcohol called ethylene glycol. The most common 3-carbon alcohol is isopropanol; it's widely sold in stores under a different name, it's widely used in homes, but it's toxic and not for drinking! What is this common household name of isopropanol? 2 words. [Google "household name isopropanol"]arrow_forward
