Your Turn 8.1 You Decide Opposites Attract
Examine the pictures of water above. What do they tell you about water? How do they relate to the wide-ranging effects of water on our lives? After answering these questions, brainstorm a list of other opposites that can be represented by water and then answer what it would be like to have a world with no water.
Interpretation:
A brief description about water and its wide ranging effects on our lives has to be given by examining the given pictures of water. An explanation should be given for the question that what it would be like to have a world with no water.
Concept introduction:
Water covers most part of the Earth.
It is a liquid and so it has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
It is a very important for the existence of life on Earth.
Water provides largest ecosystems simply the aqua eco systems.
Explanation of Solution
The given pictures of water are shown below,
From the picture we can give many facts about water and some of them are listed below,
The both pictures reveal the abundance and its vital energy in the nature. It can be moved easily by wind or it takes the shape of its environment.
Water is the part of larger ecosystem namely aqua-ecosystem.
Uncontrolled winds causes’ high altitude waves like in the second picture which can seriously affects many human beings and other organisms.
The life in Earth is completely dependent to WATER and so without water life would cease to exist. The world becomes dusty and dry.

Previous Answers Request Answer % openvellum.ecollege.com FS E Course Home An increase temperature usually increases the solubility of solids and decreases the solubility of gases in water. S An increase in pressure of a gas above a liquid increes the solubility of a gas within that solution and decreases the solubility of solids. F6 X Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining You filled in 1 of 4 blanks incorrectly. Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly related to the gas pressure above the liquid. The law does not apply to solids, as the pressure does not impact the number of solid…arrow_forward
- Directions: Analyze each of the following statements whether it describes the property of water. Write TRUE if the statement is correct but if it Is False, change the underlined word or group of words to make the whole statement true. Write your answers on the space provided. 4. The oxygen atom of water is covalently bonded with the two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule. 5. As we raise the temperature of water this would mean we are increasing its average kinetic energy. 6. The sticking of water molecules on the wall of a beaker would display adhesion. 7. The bond that holds each water molecule with the adjacent water molecule is a hydrogen bond. 8. Substances that are polar and ready to be dissolved in water are called hydrophobic. 9. The type of intermolecular force which is a polar covalent bond makes the water polar and explains why water is a universal solvent. 10.

One of the common chemical pollutants removed from water during water treatment. How is it removed and why? Include chemical formulas and chemical reactions. 2. One chemical substance added to water during water treatment. How is it added to water and why? Include chemical formulas and chemical reactions. Provide the URL of the web page where you found the information. Try using Wikipedia, government websites, and university/college websites.arrow_forward1. Water is necessary for life on Earth. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms (H2O); however, biological life in water depends on another form of oxygen. These organisms need molecular oxygen (O2), which they use to perform aerobic respiration. This molecular oxygen fits into spaces between water molecules and is available for aquatic organisms to use. How do you think molecular oxygen gets into the water? Choose two of the following choices. Select all that apply: From the oxygen atoms that are part of the water molecules. From oxygen that dissolves into water from the atmosphere. From oxygen that is given off by aquatic organisms during respiration. From oxygen that is given off by aquatic plants during photosynthesis.arrow_forward

Only highly toxic pollutants are releasedarrow_forward1. Discuss the three main intermolecular forces described in chapter 11 using relevant examples. 2. List the following substances: Ar, Cl2, CH4 and CH3COOH in order of their increasing strength of intermolecular attractions. Give reason for your answer. 3a. Which intermolecular force is present in Water? Explain the reason for your answer. b. Some of the remarkable consequences of the intermolecular force present in water can be used to explain the "Expansion of water upon freezing", which explains why icebergs float in water and why water pipes burst in freezing temperatures. Question: Using the concept of the intermolecular force present in water: Discuss why water expands upon freezing. 4."CH3OH boils at 65*C, while CH3SH boils at 6*C" . Which intermolecular force accounts for this difference? Explain.
