Answer 1

1, 2, 3, and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is usually referred to as a universal solvent. this means that water has the ability to dissolve most substances.

The molecules of water have a strong attraction to themselves. They are held together by hydrogen bond which makes them to have strong cohesive force with one another.

Pure water is neutral in pH. That is, it is neither acidic nor basic.

Water expands when it freezes as opposed to contracting.

Water heats up and cool down easily when compared to land because it has higher heat capacity than land. This property forms the basis for land and sea breeze.

Hence, 1, 2, 3, and 5 apply to water.
