Water and Life Part A The unique properties of water make life on Earth possible and also lead to potential environmental problems when humans exploit those properties. Using the intermolecular forces that give water its unique properties, explain the following: • Water produces ice that floats (i.e., is less dense than water) even though intermolecular forces generally produce solids that are more dense than the liquids from which they are formed (note that saying hydrogen bonding is not enough, you need to explain how this leads to a less dense solid). • The solubility of nutrients in water is critical for crop growth and yet this same solubility can cause pollution whenlexcess fertilizer is removed from a farm and carried to streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. 3 Essay answers are limited to about 500 words (3800 characters maximum, including spaces). 3800 Character(s) remaining
