What percentage of an adult's body weight is typically composed of water?

If water were not a polar molecule, how would the effects of climatic warming differ from those currently observed or predicted to occur in the future?

Water has a high heat-absorbing capacity because .a. the sun's rays penetrate to the bottom of bodies of water, mainly heating the bottom surface;b. the strong covalent bonds that hold individual water molecules together require large inputs of heat to break;c. it has the ability to dissolve many heat-resistant solutes;d. initial energy inputs are first used to break hydrogen bonds between water molecules and only after these are broken, to raise the temperature;e. all of the above are true

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If we could burn the pizza and use all the heat to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what would be the approximate increase in the temperature of the water? (Note: A liter of cold water weighs about 1 kg.)a. 50°Cb. 5°Cc. 100°Cd. 10°C
