The nature of seawater, the hydrologic cycle, and global climate. 108-115: what are the 5 unique properties of water (pp. Water has a high surface tension, occurs in 3 states and is a good solvent. Water has a unique response of density to temperature. Water has high boiling and freezing points. Water has a high latent heat of vaporization, which is the amount of heat required to change water into steam. Latent heat is the heat required to change phase without a change of temperature. Sensible heat is the vibration of water molecules, the temperature measured with a thermometer. One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by. 113 describe how many calories it takes to melt 1 gram of water. Answer the above questions but for 5 grams of water. Amount of heat to melt ice is 80 calories per gram. Raising water"s temperature (1 calorie for 1 degree)
