Question

indicate whether each property of water is due to the cohesion of water molecules or the adhesion of water molecules. labels drop zones reset all water readily dissolves other polar molecules paper towels readily absorb water high heat of vaporization high surface tension water readily dissolves table salt (nacl) cohesion (1/2) adhesion (2/2)

Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between like - water molecules, and adhesion is the attraction between water and other substances. Water's high heat of vaporization and high surface tension are due to hydrogen - bonding between water molecules (cohesion). Paper towels absorbing water is an example of adhesion as water molecules are attracted to the paper fibers. Water dissolving polar molecules and table salt is due to its polarity and ability to interact with other substances (adhesion - like interactions with non - water substances).

Answer:

Water readily dissolves other polar molecules: Adhesion
Paper towels readily absorb water: Adhesion
High heat of vaporization: Cohesion
High surface tension: Cohesion
Water readily dissolves table salt (NaCl): Adhesion
