Properties of Water

 

Physical and Chemical Properties of Water:

  • It is a colourless and tasteless liquid.
  • Compared to other liquids, it has higher thermal conductivity, specific heat, surface tension, etc.
  • Water is referred to as a universal solvent as most substances such as acids, salts, sugar, and gases readily dissolve in it.
  • Water has the capability to form azeotropes with other solvents.
  • The electrical conductivity of water is low. However, it can be improved by adding ionic substances that dissociate to give ions in the aqueous phase for carrying the charge.
