Liquids and Water
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Five uses of water | 1) Agriculture 2) Industry 3) Transportation 4) Recreation 5) Household Purposes |
| Photosynthesis | The process by which plants use water, plus carbon dioxide and energy from the sun to make food. |
| What percentage of Earth's water is fresh water | 3% |
| The majority of Earth's fresh water is found in? | Ice in the North and South Pole |
| 2 Elements that make up water | 1) Hydrogen and 2) Oxygen |
| Hydrogen has what kind of electrical charge? | Positive |
| Why is water known as the "universal solvent"? | Because Water is able to dissolve many things. |
| A water glider (bug) is able to "float" on water because of? | Surface Tension, which is the tightness across the surface of water that is caused by the polar molecules pulling on each other. |
| Why is water able to move upwards, against gravity? | Capillary Action |
| Evaporation | When water changes to the gaseous state. |
| Condensation | Is when you have a cold glass of ice water outside on a hot summer day and beads of water collect on the oustide of the cup. |
| Cohesion | Causes water molecules to be attracted to other water molecules. |
| Adhesion | Causes water molecules to be attracted to other objects. |
| Why can ice float on water? | Because frozen water in an ice cube tray contains the same amount of matter as when it was a liquid. |
| The process of how water moves from a solid, to a liquid to a gas: | To turn into a solid it needs to frrize and the molecules move slow. To turn into a liquid the substance needs to melt and the molecules move at a medium speed, and to turn into a gas evaporation occurs and the molecules move fastly. |
| What makes up a water molecule? | 2 positive hydrogen and 1 negative oxygen. |
| Solvent | A substance that dissolves another substance forming a solution. Ex: water. |
| Solute | The substance that is being dissolved. Ex: crystal light. |
| Solution | A mixture that forms when one substance dissolves in another. Ex: crystal light |
| Irrigation | The process of supplying land areas with water to make them suitable for farming. |
| More than 97% of Earth's total water supply is found in? | Oceans (salt water) |
| When you stir salt into water, you are making a ? | Solution |
| The energy that drives the water cycle comes from the ? | Sun |
| Photosynthesis | The process in which plants use water, light and carbon dioxide to make food. |
| Most of the Earth's fresh water is found in the form of ______________________. | Ice |
| The property of surface tension allows some insects to ________________________ on water. | Float |
| Transportation | The process by which leaves of plants give off water into the atmosphere. |
| Cohesion | What attracts water molecules to other water molecules. |
| Why is so little of Earth's water available for human use? | It is ice... |
| As ice cube melts,water molecules move ________________________. | Faster. |
