Give an example from everyday life of each of the following properties of water:a. Cohesionb. Adhesionc. Ability to dissolve substancesd. Resistance to temperature change

a) Cohesion: Insects walking on water.

b) Adhesion: A water drop spreading in a paper sheet.

c) Ability to dissolve substances: Preparing lemonade.

d) Resistance to temperature change: Sweating to keep our body temperature from rising.

Explanation:

a) Water molecules are close together due to strong hydrogen bonds, which give water the property of cohesion.

b) Adhesion is the property that attracks water to other polar substances.

c) Because water is polar, it is a good solvent for other polar substances, as sugar and lemon juice.

d) Warer requires a high amount of energy to vary in temperature. Therefore it is a good substance to keep the temperature of an envrionment, like the human body, constant.
