Which of the graphs below might represent a mixture of pure water and ice exposed to a room temperature of 3°C?

four bar charts

A. Graph A

B. Graph B

C. Graph C

D. Graph D

C. Graph C  

Explanation:

We have a mixture of water and ice.

At 0 °C they are at equilibrium.

water-to-ice rate = ice-to-water rate

Next, we lower the temperature to -3 °C — just slightly below freezing.

The water will slowly turn to ice.  

The water-to-ice rate will be slightly faster than the ice-to-water rate.

The purple bar will be slightly higher than the blue bar.

Graph C best represents the relative rates

A. is wrong. The ice-to-water rate is faster, so the water is melting. The temperature is slightly above freezing (say, 3 °C).

B. is wrong. The two rates are equal, so the temperature is 0 °C.

D. is wrong. The water-to-ice rate (freezing) is much greater than the ice-to-water rate, so the temperature is well below freezing( say, -10 °C).

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
