Your body looses each day about 2-3 litters of water through elimination,

urination, perspiration and respiration.

Water is the only common substance found naturally in all three states of matter
Water has highest density at 4oc
Water is miscible with other liquids forming one homogenous liquid when mixed.
Triple point temperature and pressure and which solid, liquid and gaseous
water coexis in equilibrium it is not a measured value but a prescribed value

Pure water containing no exogenous ions is an excellent insulator, but not even "deionized"
water is completely free of ions
Water undergoes auto-ionization in the liquid state, when two water molecules form
onehydroxide anion (OH) and one hydronium cation (H
3O+)
If water has even a tiny amount of such an impurity, then it can conduct electricity far more
readily
Water can be split into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, by passing an electric
current through it. This process is called electrolysis
Water has a highsurface tension of 72.8 mN/m at room temperature
Chemically, water is amphoteric: it has the rare ability to act as either anacid or a base in
chemical reactions.
Deuterium oxide, D
2O, is also known as heavy water because of its higher density. It is used in nuclear reactors as
a neutron moderator.
