H. Evaporation 1. Water has a relatively high heat of vaporization, compared to other molecules. I. Ice 1. Highly structured form of water h-bonds form a crystal lattice. Water is less dense when frozen because of structure.
Ice floats because it is less dense then liquid water.
The Universal Solvent A. Water is able to dissolve many compounds because of its polar covalent bonds. If water is the solvent it is an aqueous solution. D. Hydrophobic vs. Hydrophilic interactions. E. Solute concentrations in aqueous solutions. Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
