WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WATER?
Water is an odourless, tasteless, transparent
liquid at room temperature.
Water is wet.
Water covers about 70 percent of the earth's
surface in the oceans, lakes, rivers, and glaciers.
Water is an odourless, tasteless, transparent
liquid at room temperature.
Ninety-seven percent of the water on the planet
is in the form of salt water. Only 3 percent is
fresh, and two-thirds of that is ice.
Chemically, water is a compound of hydrogen
and oxygen, its molecule consists of two atoms
of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen -
H2O.
The physical and chemical properties of water
are extraordinarily complicated and incompletely
understood. (THE MECHANISM IS NOT PLAUSIBLE)
Water is necessary for life.
Water falls from the sky as rain and issues from
the ground in springs.
The water molecule is not linear but bent in a
special way. As a result, part of the molecule is
negatively charged and part positively charged.
Water constitutes the greater part of the
fundamental substance (protoplasm) of which
animal and plant bodies are made
Sap of plants and blood of animals contain large
quantities of water.
Water is essential to the manufacture of starch
by plants.
Many foods, such as milk and fruit, have high
water content.
For drinking purposes, water may need to be
purified.
Water present in the earth is called ground water
(its upper level is called the water table)
When drunk, the waters of the Lethe, a river in
Hades, produced forgetfulness.
Water's composition by weight is one part of
hydrogen to eight of oxygen (or 11.1 percent of
hydrogen and about 88.9 percent of oxygen)
Water is an agent in erosion of the land.
Water is relatively incompressible.
By convention, one cubic centimeter of water at
4°C. (its temperature at maximum density)
weighs one gram.
Water is linked with the moon through the
movement of tides and by its moon-like flowing,
shape-changing quality.
When cooled to its freezing temperature (0°C.,Many foods, such as milk and fruit, have high
water content
32°F., under standard pressure), water changes
to a colorless, crystalline solid (ice)
Water is less dense as ice than as a liquid at
4°C.
Unlike other liquids, water expands in freezing.
When water is heated to its boiling point
(100°C., 212°F., under standard pressure), it
vaporizes to steam.
Scientists believe that the structure of liquid
water consists of aggregates of water molecules
that form and re-form continually.
At ordinary temperatures, water undergoes
evaporation.
Completely pure water is a poor conductor of
electricity.
Water is one of the best known solvents.
Water power is of major economic importance.
In natural waters, various substances are found
dissolved.
Mineral water contains a great variety and
quantity of minerals (usually a compound of
calcium, magnesium, or iron).
Salt water contains a large amount of sodium
chloride (common salt).
Certain water is called "hard".
Heavy water (
deuterium oxide
) was discovered by Harold C. Urey.
There are lots of evidence that water is a special liquid in several Holy Scriptures.
