Your Answer Correct Answer Explanation Not true. It can dissolve more substances than any other liquid. The water you see in rivers, lakes, and the ocean may look clear, but it actually contains many dissolved elements and minerals, and because these elements are dissolved , they can easily move with water over the surface of the earth. Rainwater contains small amounts of dissolved minerals that have been blown into the air by winds. In a way, the distillation process is responsible for rainwater.
Rain is produced by water vapor evaporating from the earth and condensing in the sky.
It takes more energy to heat cold water to 212 o F than it does to change 212 o F water to steam. When water first reaches boiling it has not begun to turn to steam yet. More energy is needed to begin turning the boiling liquid water into gaseous water vapor. The bonds holding water molecules as a liquid are not easily broken. If I remember correctly, it takes about seven times as much energy to turn boiling water into steam as it does to heat water at room temperature to the boiling point.
