Water is an important component of life on Earth, because the normal functionality of any living organism is maintained mainly due to this liquid substance. Moreover, without water it would be impossible that a huge number of chemical and physical processes in nature, as a result of which favorable conditions are created for the existence of organisms on the planet.
Water Summary
The water molecule has a molecular crystal lattice. Therefore, it has a number of physical properties: smell, taste, color, electrical conductivity, density, radioactivity. Most often, pure water is transparent, but the impurities contained in it can give it color. Usually there are a lot of them in groundwater.
Water by its nature does not have a smell. If the smell is felt, then it contains chemical gases.
The taste of water depends on the presence of various substances in it. For example, the sodium chloride content gives the water a salty taste.
In very rare cases, water can be radioactive. It depends on the presence of a radon in it.
Water can also be of different temperatures, for example, cold, superheated and thermal.
The density of water (g / ml) and its dependence on temperature
So what is known about density? It is believed that the density of water in chemistry (g / ml) is 1 g / ml, which corresponds to 1000 g / l or 1000 kg / m³, and it is achieved at 0 ° C. This is about fresh or distilled water. If we take sea salt water, then its density will be slightly higher - about 1.03 g / ml.
However, the temperature is not constant everywhere, which means that the density of water can vary significantly. Water is in a liquid state of aggregation at temperatures from 0 to 374.12 ° C. At temperatures above critical, it goes into steam. As the temperature rises from zero to a critical point, the density of water decreases. At a temperature of 374.12 degrees, the density of water (g / ml) will be 0.3178 g / ml.
