Which occurs faster at equilibrium? Formation of reactants or products? They occur at
the same rate
Isotopes differ in the amount of neutrons
polar molecule means that its overall charge is unequally distributed
cohesion is -hydrogen bonds holding water molecules together
-high surface tension
-spiders can walk across a pond due to tension
-contributes to transportation of nutrients and water against plants gravity
Adhesion is -clinging of water molecules from itself to another substance

Water is known for having -high specific heat
-1 cal/g
-absorbs or loses lots of energy with each degree change
increase in heat increases the kinetic energy speed
ability of ice to float has to do with ice's lower density
Like dissolves like so the best compounds to dissolve in water are polar compounds
hydrophillic substances have an affinity for water without dissolving
-ex) cotton towel can absorb water but not dissolve
-cellulose
