Your body ""overheats"" due to decreased sweat if you don’t drink water most of the day. This problems is associated with one of the properties of water. List five emergent properties of water and indicate the relevant one.

Answer:

1 - Low ice density

2 - High specific heat

3 - Other water molecules attraction & attraction to polar molecules

4 - High polarity

5 - High heat of vaporization

The relevant one is high heat of vaporization as the sweating cools the body. If one does not drink water most of the day most likely will be dehydrated, won't be able to sweat as much and therefore the body will overheat.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - At cold temperatures water transforms itself into ice which is less condensed than water due to a bigger distance between the hydrogen bonds.

2 - Water is a temperature moderator. It does so based on high specific heat (which is the quantity of energy lost/gained to alter the temperature by 1 degree Celcius.) and the vaporization high heat level.

3 - Water molecules attract one another and water is also attracted to other molecules with whom they can develop a bond of hydrogen with.

4 - The attraction to different molecules.

5 - The quantity of heat required to convert one liquid gram into gas.
