The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

How might this scientific phenomena be explained? a paper clip floats on water.

Need what is special about water as a compound? how does water regulate climate? what drives water evaporation?   why is the water vapor fresh water when it rises from the ocean? why might freshwater in the form of snow take longer to enter the water cycle again than liquid precipitation?   what is an aquifer? what role do people play in the water cycle? plz just answer as many as you can ! thx if you !
