Should we control a chemical that: • Causes excessive sweating and vomiting. • Is a major component in acid rain. • Can cause severe burns in its gaseous state.
Accidental inhalation can kill you. • Contributes to erosion. • Decreases the effectiveness of car brakes. • Has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.
What is the chemical? • Dihydrogen monoxide • Otherwise known as H2O
Question? What molecule Is the most common In living Cells? Water - most cells are 70 - 95% water.
Properties Of Water • Be ready and able to discuss several of the following properties. • Focus on definitions and examples. • Review water structure and H-bonds from Chapter 2.
Liquid Water Is Cohesive • Water sticks to water. • Why? Because the polarity of water results in hydrogen bonding.
Liquid Water is Adhesive • Water sticks to other molecules. • Why? Hydrogen bonding.
Water Has A High Surface Tension • The surface of water is difficult to stretch or break. • Why? Hydrogen bonding.
Water Has A High Specific Heat • Specific Heat - the amount of heat needed to raise 1 g of the substance 1 degree C. • Why? Hydrogen bonding.
Heat • Total quantity of kinetic energy due to molecular motion.
Temperature • Measures the average speed of the molecules.
Celsius Scale • Will be used for most of our temperature measurements. • O oC - water freezes • 100 oC - water boils • 37 oC - human body
Water Stabilizes Temperature • Water can absorb and store a huge amount of heat from the sun. • Result - climate moderation • Result - organisms are able to survive temperature changes.
Water Has A High Heat Of Vaporization • Heat of Vaporization: the quantity of heat a liquid must absorb for 1g of it to convert to a gaseous state.
Result: • Water cools organisms from excessive heat buildup. • Why? Hydrogen bonding
Homework • Read chapter 3 • Lab 1 report – next lab period • Chapter 2 homework – today • Lab – Predator/Prey • Chapter 3 – Fri. 8/24 • Discussion Board – Fri. 8/24
AP Biology Ben - Burris
Water Expands When It Freezes • The distance between water molecules INCREASES from the liquid to the solid form. • Why? • Hydrogen bonding
Solids and Liquids Water Benzene Floats Sinks
States of Matter Liquid Gas Solid
Result • Aquatic life can live under ice.
Water Is A Versatile Solvent • Water will form a solution with many materials. • Why? Hydrogen bonding
Solution • Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
Solvent • The dissolving agent. • The material in the greater quantity.
Solute • The substance that is dissolved. • The material in the lesser quantity.
Hydrophilic Materials • Materials that dissolve in water. • Hydro - water • philic - to like or love • Have ionic or polar regions (polar covalent bonds) on their molecules for H+ bonds.
Hydrophobic • Materials that repel water. • Hydro - water • phobic - to fear • Have non-polar covalent bonds. Ex - lipids.
Solution Concentration • Usually based on Molarity. • Molarity - the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Moles • The molecular weight of a substance in grams. • One Avogadro’s number of molecules. 6.02 X 1023
One Mole of each Sugar Copper Sulfate Sulfur Mercury Oxide Sodium Chloride Copper
Comment • AP Biology students should be able to calculate solutions in Molarity.
Dissociation of Water • Water can sometimes split into two ions. • In pure water the concentration of each ion is 10-7 M
Adding certain solutes disrupts the balance between the two ions. • The two ions are very reactive and can drastically affect a cell.
Acids • Materials that can release H+ • Example: HCl HCl H+ + Cl-
Bases • Materials that can absorb H+ • Often reduce H+ by producing OH- • Example: NaOH NaOH Na+ + OH-
Neutrals • Materials that are neither acids nor bases.
pH Scale • A logarithmic scale for showing H+ concentration pH = - log [H+]
Example: For a neutral solution: [H+] is 10-7 or - log 10-7 or - (-7) or 7
Acids: pH <7 etc. • Bases: pH >7 etc. • Each pH unit is a 10x change in H+
Comment • [H+] + [OH-] = 14 • Therefore, if you know the concentration of one ion, you can easily calculate the other.
