| 549340601 | adhesion | the tendency for water molecules to H bond w/ other polar molecules | |
| 549340602 | high specific heat | amount of heat needed to raise the temp of 1g of substance 1 degree C | |
| 549340603 | high heat of vaporization | The amount of heat necessary to cause a phase transition between a liquid and a gas; Large a mount of heat is needed to vaporize liquid | |
| 549340604 | density | The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance | |
| 549340605 | thermal overturn | cold water sinks because it is more dense and brings o2 down and hot water rises bringing nutrients | |
| 549340606 | solvent | substance in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution | |
| 549340607 | dissociation of water | Water has both acidic and basic properties; dissociation produces both the hydronium ion and hydroxide ion. |
