Answer to Problem 1GST
Water is most dense in a liquid state.
Explanation of Solution
Molecules of water present in ice are bonded together in a configuration characterized by many empty spaces. Hence, ice is less dense than water. The melting of ice causes the breaking of bonds. As a result, the molecules of water become more closely packed. The evaporation of liquid water causes the breakage of all hydrogen bonds, and hence free movement of water molecules occurs in a gaseous phase.
(b)
The state of matter in which water molecules are most energetic by referring to Figure 4.3.

- Outline of topic: Increased urbanization together with climate changes forces cities to find solutions for their simultaneous water shortage and flooding problems. The preservation of water resources needs sustainable urban water management strategies that combine ecological health maintenance with these priorities. This study investigates combined strategies that involve rainwater collection together with wastewater treatment and the deployment of green infrastructure consisting of urban wetlands alongside permeable pavements. The research aims to discover multi-purpose solutions that decrease flood dangers together with water shortages while maintaining ecological health for long-term urban water management success. The research investigates ways in which novel solutions assist cities to create watertight urban areas capable of handling environmental pressures from global warming and population expansion.
