Water Properties and Changes Quiz

The process where liquid water changes into water vapor (gas) at any temperature.

The process where water vapor (gas) in the air cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.

The continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.

A substance that dissolves in a solvent. For example, sugar is a solute in water.

The substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution. For example, water is a solvent for sugar.

The state of matter where water molecules are tightly packed and have a fixed shape and volume.

The state of matter where water molecules are more loosely packed and can flow, taking the shape of their container. It has a fixed volume.

The state of matter where water molecules are very far apart and move freely. It does not have a fixed shape or volume.

The process where a solid (ice) changes into a liquid (water) when heated to 0°C.

The process where a liquid (water) changes into a solid (ice) when cooled to 0°C.

The maximum amount of a substance (solute) that can dissolve in a specific amount of liquid (solvent) at a given temperature.

The relationship between the temperature and the amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent.

Different materials have different abilities to dissolve in water.

Condensation is the change of state from a gas to a liquid. When steam or water vapor cools to or below its boiling point, it condenses and changes into water.

When water changes from one state to another, its temperature remains constant.

Energy is absorbed from the surroundings when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid (melting) or from a liquid to a gas (boiling/evaporation).

Energy is released to the surroundings when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid (condensation) or from a liquid to a solid (freezing).

Evaporation is the change of state from a liquid to a gas. When water reaches its boiling point or is exposed to enough heat energy, it evaporates and changes into water vapor.

The movement of clouds across the sky, driven by wind.

The release of water from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This occurs when water droplets in clouds become too heavy.

The rate at which evaporation happens, influenced by factors like the size of the water surface, the humidity in the air, the air temperature, and the wind speed.

The substance that is dissolved in a liquid to form a solution.

The liquid that dissolves the solute to form a solution.

A homogeneous mixture formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent.

A substance that readily dissolves in a given solvent, like sugar in water.

A substance that does not dissolve in a given solvent, like oil in water.

Different substances have different abilities to dissolve in water.

The amount of a substance that can dissolve in water can change with temperature.

A solution where no more solute can dissolve, with some undissolved solute remaining at the bottom.

Adding more solute continues to dissolve until the solution reaches a point where no more can be dissolved.
