Which property of water make it easy to contaminate and difficult to purify?

  1. Water is a universal solvent

  2. Tendency to dissolve a large number of substances

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above

C Correct answer
Explanation

The property of water make it easy to contaminate and difficult to purify is its tendency to dissolve a large number of substances. The ocean/sea water is not fit for drinking and washing because it contains high concentration of the dissolved salts.

What is the molecular weight of water?

  1. 21

  2. 18

  3. 20

  4. 16
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The atomic masses of O and H are 16 g/mol and 1 g/mol respectively.
The molecular formula of water is $H _2O$ and its molecular weight $2(1) + 16=18$ g/mol.
Note:
Water is one of the most precious resources on earth and is necessary for all living beings. We use water for different purposes like drinking, cooking, bathing, washing and many more activities. Pure water is colorless, odorless and tasteless.

At 4$^{\circ}$C, water starts expanding and continues to do so till 0$^{\circ}$C.

Is the above statement correct?

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

When water is heated from $0^oC$ its value decreases because its density increases and we can see this effect up to $4^oC$ because the density of ice is maximum at $4^oC$. Afterward the density decreases, the volume increases.

As, when we cool it from $4^oC$ its volume increases up to $0^oC$. At $0^oC$ latent heat of fusion converts it to a form of ice. So, the given statement is true.
