The ____ of a substance is defined as the amount of heat (energy) that must be absorbed or lost by a substance to change its temperature by 1 degree Celsius. | specific heat (In the graph below, it shows that the specific heat is 1cal/C for the liquid phase of water.

Compared with most other substances, water has an unusually high ____ which explains why it can store a lot of energy and it takes a lot of energy to change its temperature. | specific heat |
Why doesn't it get really cold or really hot when you are out at sea? | The high specific heat of water allows it to absorb a lot of heat from the air without increasing its own temperature too much. When cold air blows over the ocean, the large amount of heat (not to be confused with temperature) can be transferred to the air. Since air has a much lower specific heat, it will warm up easily. In places like the Bering Sea of Alaska, the ocean water keeps the air from getting too much below 20 degrees Fahrenheit even in the middle of winter. In summer, it keeps the air from getting too much above 55 degrees F. |
The transformation from a liquid to a gas is called ____ or ____. | evaporation or vaporization (boiling is the temperature at which the average molecule has enough energy to overcome the attractions that hold molecules together as a liquid. Therefore, the molecules vaporize quite quickly once the boiling point has been reached) |
The _____ is the amount of heat needed to convert 1 gram of a substance already at it's boiling point from a liquid to a gas. | heat of vaporization (Even though a liquid has reached it's boiling point, more energy is needed to break the intermolecular bonds between the molecules so they can separate. In the case of water with it's relatively strong hydrogen bonds giving water molecules strong cohesion, it takes a relatively high heat of vaporization to change liquid into gas. Likewise, when water condenses, a lot of heat is quickly released as those hydrogen bonds reform. That's why you don't want to keep your hand over a steaming pot of water long enough for the water vapor to condense on your skin.),  |
1 calorie of energy must be absorbed by water at 99 Celsius to reach 100 Celsius. How many calories must water at 100 Celsius absorb to reach 101 Celsius? | If you answered 1 calorie, you are wrong. To reach 101 Celsius, water must first be converted from a liquid to a gas. This involves the breaking of hydrogen bonds that hold the water molecules together as a liquid. To break all the hydrogen bonds requires much more energy than it does to simply get the molecules in liquid water to move faster by an average of 1 degree Celsius. This energy requirement is called the heat of vaporization, which is quite high for water compared to most liquids.,  |

All the water in a lake in winter will be less than 4 Celsius, so the coldest water, being the least dense, rises to the surface.,  |
In a lake during summer, where would you find the warmest water? | Close to the surface. As long as water is more than 4 Celsius, it behaves like most substances, becoming less dense (and floating) as temperature increases.,  |

Stir it until it is completely dissolved, then add more water until you have exactly 1 liter of solution. Molarity is defined as the number of moles per liter of solution. Therefore, you would need to figure out the mass of one mole of glucose (by adding up the atomic masses of 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms), multiplying that by two to get 2 moles, massing it out on a balance and dissolving it in water as described in the first sentence. |
