Liquid water has surface tension, has a high specific heat, and functions effectively as a solvent for polar covalent and ionically bonded molecules. what feature of water imparts these properties?

The property to form polar covalent bond and hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Liquid water exhibits the property of surface tension, functions as solvent for ionic and polar covalent bonded molecules and have high specific heat.

All these properties can be credited to the property of water to form hydrogen bonds with liquid water molecules where the hydrogen bonding results when hydrogen atom of a water molecule is attracted to a more electro negative oxygen atom of other water molecule in the neighborhood while polar covalent bond formation results in the the water molecule as it is a polar covalent molecule as it contains hydrogen atom and an electronegative oxygen atom which results in the charge distribution in the molecule.

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
