Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The unique properties of water enable life to exist on Earth. Which of these is a property of pure water?
A
It dissolves many substances.
B
It has a low heat absorption capacity
C
Its solid form is more dense than its liquid.
D
water is a terrible solvent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In simple words, we can say that is the property cohesion edition and do and capillary T. These are the unique property of water which enable life to exist. See this capillary means this capillary action. It is important for moving water around.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water’s extensive capability to dissolve a variety of molecules has earned it the designation of “universal solvent, ” and it is this ability that makes water such an invaluable life-sustaining force. On a biological level, water’s role as a solvent helps cells transport and use substances like oxygen or nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms-one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The four unique properties of water that make it unique are high specific heat, high polarity, adhesion cohesion, and a lower density as a solid. Water having a high specific heat allows it to absorb heat energy without a subsequent change in temperature.
