Using 2 cans for each method‚ and measuring the temperature at increments of 5 minutes‚ the experiment was complete when the temperature stabilized. In conclusion‚ the fastest way to cool a soda was the soda in the freezer at -2 degrees Celsius. The other methods did not make the soda as cold and as fast as the freezer. The refrigerator soda dropped to 13 degrees Celsius‚ the ice cubes dropped to 2 degrees Celsius‚ and the

Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure‚ but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state‚ ice‚ and gaseous state‚ steam (water vapor). Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1

Drinking too much water can lead to hyponatremia‚ water intoxication‚ water poisoning and death Liquid H2O is the sine qua non of life. Making up about 66 percent of the human body‚ water runs through the blood‚ inhabits the cells‚ and lurks in the spaces between. At every moment water escapes the body through sweat‚ urination‚ defecation or exhaled breath‚ among other routes. Replacing these lost stores is essential but rehydration can be overdone. There is such a thing as a fatal water overdose.

property of water is that it is an excellent solvent. This is because of the chemical composition and physical attributes of water. Since water is polar‚ it allows water molecules to become attracted to different molecules. The attraction can be so powerful that it can disrupt the attractive forces of the different molecules. For example‚ water can be heavily attracted to salt that it can disrupt the forces that hold sodium and chloride‚ therefore dissolving it. The second property of water is its high
