    Homework Assignment #2 – Properties of Water Hypothesis (H) – The amylase will digest the starch; thus, there will be no change in the color of the liquid inside, or outside, of the dialysis membrane because the Lugol’s reagent will not have surrounding starch to react with. Null Hypothesis (H0) – The amylase will not digest the starch; thus, when the outside liquid passes through the permeable membrane (dialysis membrane), the Lugol’s reagent will react with the starch—turning the content inside

    Water has many properties and functions. One of them is its ability to be a solvent. A known face is that water is called the “universal solvent” because it can dissolve many substances. This property can be very useful in everyday life, like inside our bodies to the medicines we take. For the activity, the students will test different solids and liquids being added to water and will see if the substances dissolve or not. This hands-on activity will include everyone to participate and to observe

    Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend on the number of dissolved particles in solution, but not on the identities of the solutes. For example, the freezing point of salt water is lower than that of pure water, due to the presence of the salt dissolved in the water. To a good approximation, it does not matter whether the salt dissolved in water is sodium chloride or potassium nitrate; if the molar amounts of solute are the same and the number of ions are the same, the

    Water is a substance that is in great abundance on this planet and life almost certainly originated from it. It is required for multiple purposes and explains several day-to-day mechanisms (Chemical Elements and Water, 2007). The biological significance of water in the human body alone is 70% therefore demonstrates how crucial it is. An important feature of water is its polar nature. A single water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom (Henry Cavendish, 1782) (Gay-Lussac and

    1. Describe 4 properties of water that make it life sustaining? Do not give just a list. Describe why each property helps sustain life. • The lower density of ice it can form the ice crystal by the hydrogen bonds at cooler temperature. • Water’s high polarity ions and other polar molecules are attracted to the high level of polarity in water. What make water very good solvent is its ability to form hydrogen bonds. • High heat capacity the amount of energy that take to rise temperature from 1g of
