    This document provides instructions for laboratory exercise #1 on the properties of water. The exercise includes completing a table on the solubility of various substances in water and carbon tetrachloride. It asks students to observe whether water or carbon tetrachloride dissolves more substances based on the table. It also asks students to describe hypothetical observations for how water acts as a medium for biochemical reactions and how properties of water solutions would be observed in dialysis and osmosis experiments. It concludes with questions about the functions of water in living systems and definitions and applications of dialysis and osmosis.
