Water's surface tension and heat storage capacity are accounted for by its a) orbitals b) weight c) hydrogen bonds d) mass e) size

The correct answer is C: hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Water's surface tension and heat storage capacity are accounted for by its hydrogen bonds. Molecules of water are very strongly attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonds are constantly formed and broken in water molecules. Surface tension results from this hydrogen bonding which means that Water has a higher storage capacity for heat.

That is why at night, the Earth gets colder must faster than water.

Water takes time to slowly release heat to keep the atmospheric temperature moderate at night.

c, liquids evaporate, creating a gas

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
