question 1-9
drivers often add substances to their car’s washer fluid that improve the ability of water to form droplets which then quickly roll o heavy downpours. which of the following examples demonstrates the same properties of water as described above?
sweating in animals
capillary action in plants
ice floating on the surface of a lake
enzymes dissolved in water digest food

Explanation:

The described property is water's ability to form droplets (related to surface tension, a cohesive property). Sweating relies on water's high heat of vaporization (a property linked to hydrogen bonding, same as surface tension in droplet formation). Capillary action uses adhesion/cohesion but not droplet formation; ice floating relates to density; enzyme dissolution relates to polarity/solvation—only sweating shares the underlying hydrogen bonding properties tied to the droplet-forming ability mentioned.

Answer:

sweating in animals
