1. Sweating and the evaporation of sweat from the body surface help reduce a humans body temperature. 2.

Water drops that fall on a surface tend to form rounded drops or beads. 3. Many substances, for example salt (NaCl) and sucrose, dissolve quickly in water. 4. A bottle contains a liquid mixture of equal parts water and mineral oil. You shake the bottle vigorously and then set it on the table. Although the law of entropy favors maximum randomness, this mixture separates into layers of oil over water. 5. When you pour water into a 25 mL graduated cylinder, a meniscus forms at the top of the water column.

Water has a high specific heat, meaning its temperature requires larger amounts of energy to change Physical activity causes the body and skin to heat up The water on the skin prevents it from overheating

Water molecules tend to form hydrogen bonds between each other. The process of water molecules bonding is called cohesion

Water, being a polar substance, dissolves other polar substances Salt and sucrose are both polar

Although it is a universal solvent, water only mixes with polar substances Oil does not mix with water because it is nonpolar

Water tends to form weak bonds with hydrophilic substances The shape of water forming these weak bonds can be a meniscus when in the form of a water column
