To analyze:
The difference between high heat capacity of water and high heat of vaporization.
Introduction:
Molecules are attached together by various forces. One of these forces is hydrogen bonding.
Hydrogen bonding is of two types:
- Intermolecular hydrogen bonding
- Intramolecular hydrogen bonding
Water is a universal solvent because it forms hydrogen bonding with most elements. It has a high heat of vaporization, and it has both cohesive as well as adhesive properties. When the water molecules stick together, this property is known as the cohesion property of water. An adhesion force is the force of attraction in which the water molecules attach to each other through hydrogen bonding.
Heat capacity (Cp): It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.
The heat of vaporization: It is also known as enthalpy or latent heat of vaporization, which is the amount of heat required by a liquid substance to change its state from liquid to vapor.
