consequently they cohere more strongly to those directly associated with them on

the surface. This forms a surface film which makes it more difficult to move an
object through the surface than to move it when it is completely submersed. The
cohesive forces between molecules down into a liquid are shared with all
neighbouring atoms. Those on the surface have no neighbouring atoms above, and
exhibit stronger attractive forces at the surface are the surface tension. So from the
experiment the water molecules were continuously stacked until they were split
with the regular water. The reason behind this is that the surface area on the coin
was pack. In which no more water molecules could bond with each other causing it
to subside. The soapy water had less actual drops on the coin because the soap had
a reaction with the water molecules. Soap is a non-polar hence it does not dissolve
with substance chemically; soap is hydrophobic. This means instead of film being
formed, sheets are formed by water hence, soap lesser the effect of the surface
tension. So since of low cohesiveness and weaker bonds the molecules wouldnt
have their normality condition they would just subside on themselves and having a
lesser film like surface. So the regular water had a stronger cohesion and surface
tension than water which are shown from the results obtained.
Thermal Properties (Part C)
One of water many unique properties is that it as a high specific heat capacity
which is due to its polar like nature and hydrogen bonds. A high specific heat
capacity means that I takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of 1kg by 1K.

Water specific heat capacity is 4200 J

KG1 . K1 Most solids and liquids expand

with rising temperature. Water, the most common and most important liquid on
Earth, has a limitation on this expansion. Ice water that is at a temperature of 0C

will contract when it is heated. This contraction continues until after an increase
beyond 4C. Then water that continues to be heated will finally begin to expand like
other liquids until it reaches a gaseous state. At 4C water has its smallest volume
and also its greatest density. Water that is below 0C has a larger volume and a
smaller density. Therefore the reason why ice floats in water is because ice is less
dense or weighs less than water. This is also the reason why your water pipes may
burst in the winter if you are not careful. The water inside increases in volume and
weight as it cools from 4 to 0Celsius. If not for this peculiar property, water in deep
bodies such as ponds and lakes and oceans would begin freezing from the bottom
up, eventually becoming completely frozen as the ice would never melt. As it is,
water freezes from the top down; water that is very cold turns to ice and floats,
leaving its warmer, still liquid form below. Normally for deep water, the thin layer of
ice that does form on the top behaves as an insulator in that it slows down the rate
of heat leaving the water beneath. This behaviour of water coupled with temporary
winters means deep waters rarely become completely frozen. This why life can exist
in water even in artic climates. So in the experiment the balloon with no water took
a shorter time to burst because when a balloon is heated it expands in which
pressure starts to build up inside of it until it burst. So anywhere of the balloon was
the weakest point on it because it had nothing to prevent the build-up of pressure.
The balloon with the water took longer to burst because the water was preventing
an increase in pressure which began to build up in it. So the balloon didnt burst
immediately after it was applied with flames. The balloon with the water burst
because the flame was applied to an area where was not present allowing it to
burst. So the results show one water unique property in which a large sum of heat is
required to raise the temperature.

Conclusion: Properties of water was investigated. It conclusion water unique and

chemical properties allow it to sustain life.
Limitation: The size of the droplets varies which could hinder the results obtained.
The sizes of the balloons were not the same so this can lead to inaccurate results.
Sources of errors: The regular water might have been used instead of the soapy
one in which the results were almost the same. Some of the drops on the coin may
not be accounted for.
