The hydrogen-bond lattice causes water to have an unusually ____ specific heat, an unusually ____ heat of vaporization, and an unusually ____ density in solid form.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water's hydrogen-bond lattice contributes to its high specific heat and high heat of vaporization, allowing it to absorb a lot of heat before changing temperature or state. This lattice also makes ice less dense than liquid water, hence the low density in solid form.
