Question

tell if these questions are true.  If not, what word would replace the words in bold.

 

1.  As a result of hydrogen bonding, water has a low heat capacity (specific heat).

 

2.  Gases such as water vapor condense when they are heated.

 

3.  Both winds and surface currents turn to the left in the Northtern Hemisphere.

Answer 1

1. As a result of hydrogen bonding, water have a high heat capacity (specific heat).

Water's high specific heat is a direct result of the energy required to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules when heated. 

2. Gases such as water vapor condense when they are cooled.

Cooling reduces the kinetic energy of the gas molecules, causing them to slow down and come closer together.

3. Both winds and surface currents turn to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.

Both winds and surface ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere turn to the right because of the Coriolis effect, which is due to Earth's rotation.
