Question-11 : Which of the following properties of water make it an ideal solvent in biological systems- —
(a) High heat capacity, high heat of vaporization, high heat of fusion, high surface tension
(b) Low heat capacity, high heat of vaporization, low heat of fusion, high surface tension
(c) High heat capacity, low heat of vaporization, high heat of fusion, low surface tension
(d) Low heat capacity, low heat of vaporization, low heat of fusion, low surface tension
The ans is a.
Water has a high specific heat index—it absorbs a lot of heat before it begins to get hot.

The enthalpy of fusion also know as (latent) heat of fusion is the change in enthalpy resulting from heating a given quantity of a substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid. The temperature at which this occurs is the melting point.
When liquid water is cooled, its temperature falls steadily until it drops just below the line of freezing point at 0 °C. The temperature then remains constant at the freezing point while the water crystallizes. Once the water is completely frozen, its temperature continues to fall.
