Presentation Transcript

  1. Energy and Matter Unique Water Properties

  2. Water and Solutions • In comparison to a jellyfish, our bodies are both made up of cells composed mostly of water. • Chemical reactions occurs in aqueous solutions

  3. Polarity • Water molecule • Hydrogen shares electrons with oxygen • Hydrogen bonds are formed at an angle • Negative charge on oxygen and positive charges on Hydrogen create a polar compound

  4. Solubility of Water • Polar can dissolve other polar substances • Dissolved substances are found in all living things • Essential to maintain normal body functions • Muscle contractions • Nerve impulses

  5. Hydrogen Bonding • Hydrogen bonds allow water molecules to “cling” to each other & other substances • Provide the unique properties of water • Adhesion • Cohesion • Temperature Moderation • Density of ice • Polarity

  6. Cohesion • Water molecules stick to each other • Surface tension

  7. Adhesion • Attraction to different substances • Glass molecules and water • Capillary action

  8. Temperature Moderation • Absorb or release large amounts of energy with just a slight change in its own temperature • Specific heat • Hydrogen bonds • Water can absorb large amount of energy from sun during the day and slowly release it at night • Oceans stabilize Earth’s temperature • Organism’s can keep cells at even temperature despite changes in the environment

  9. Temperature Moderation • Evaporative cooling • Liquid evaporates taking heat with it • Remaining liquid is cool • Prevents overheating of land organisms

  10. Density of Ice • Solid water is less dense than liquid • Shape of water molecule & hydrogen bonding • Angle between hydrogen atoms so wide that open spaces are formed as it becomes solid • Ice floats • Ponds and lakes freeze top down • Important for aquatic organisms

  11. Acids and Bases • Ionization of water • Water molecules move • Collisions occur & some strong enough to knock off a Hydrogen atom • The loose Hydrogen then joins another water molecule • H2O <-> H+ + OH- (Hydroxide ion) • H+ +H2O <-> H3O + (Hydronium ion) • If hydronium ions are greater solution is acidic

  12. Acidic • H3O + (Hydronium ion) • Sour taste and highly corrosive • Basic or Alkaline • OH- (Hydroxide ion) • Bitter taste and slippery • pH scale (0 acidic, 7 neutral, 14 basic) • Buffers • Chemical substances used to neutralize small amounts of either an acid or base
