BLOCK 5: Water & Aqueous Systems

Water and Aqueous Systems

---

Introduction:  Without water we don't exist. It's that simple. You will discover several anomalies of water that make it unique in the world of chemistry and thus allow life to exist as it does. 

All forms of life depend in some way on water. The unique chemistry of water allows it to exist in all three states of matter, and each state is necessary for the existence of some form of life.
