|
large amount of hydrogen bonding
|
|
|
water is dipolar
|
|
|
high strength of hydrogen bonds
|

Detailed explanation-1: -Water molecules are polar, so they form hydrogen bonds. This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence there is no role of hydrogen bonding in water solubility of HCl.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each water molecule can create hydrogen bonds with up to three other water molecules. The strength and number of hydrogen bonds are the reasons behind the unique thermal properties of water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Due to the extensive hydrogen bonding, water has some emergent properties that impact life on Earth in many ways. These include: Cohesion, Adhesion, High surface tension, High specific heat, High Heat of vaporization, and the fact that ice floats (Ice is less dense as a solid than liquid water).
