Document Summary
Slide titled how remarkable? : heat capacity is important. Water molecule is polar: density slide chart, when water reaches 4 degrees it is the most dense, the further you go in an ocean the more dense the water is. Percentage of light absorbed by water at different wavelengths: know which color penetrates the deepest in the ocean (quiz question, know some of the other colors too. The earth"s mild climate is caused primarily by its surface water. Pure water is densest at about 4 degrees. The basic cause of the exceptional properties of water involves the separation of electrical charges in the molecule. Which of the following materials has the highest melting and boiling point: water. Compared to other materials having molecules of similar weight water has a higher melting point and boiling point and heat capacity. How much energy is required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree c: 1 calorie.
