Document Summary
Exam 1 study guide solution: lecture 5: chemistry of. Seawater: chemical bonding, properties of seawater, and the hydrologic cycle. What are some of the anomalous properties of seawater? (properties of. The solid phase is less dense than the liquid phase. Only compound that exists in all three phases on earth. If compared to other similar molecules liquid water should be vapor at -50c. Takes a very large amount of heat to transfer between phases. What accounts for these remarkable properties? (properties of water) Its dipole nature of molecules accounts for these anomalous properties. What are the three phases of water? (phase) Gas (water vapor), solid (ice), and liquid (water). Water is the only compound that exists in all three states of matter on earth"s surface. What is the triple point of water? (phase) The triple point of h2o is the point where solid, liquid and water vapor coexist. What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion? (bonding)
