Question

identify which property of water cohesion, adhesion, or heat capacity applies to each observation below. 4. large, circular lily pads are able to float on the waters surface. 5. the temperature of the water is about 5°c, while the temperature of the air is about 21°c.

Explanation:

1. Cohesion allows water molecules to stick together, creating surface tension which supports the lily - pads.
2. Heat capacity of water is high, so it can absorb a large amount of heat to change its temperature. Here, the water temperature is lower than air temperature due to its high heat - capacity property.

Answer:

1. Cohesion
2. Heat capacity
