  1. Water and Solutions Acids and Bases

  2. Nearly 70% of your body is water

  3. Functions of Water • Water helps body with homeostasis • Helps retain body heat • Helps cool body • Cohesion and Adhesion • Cohesion is attraction between substances of the same kind – • Water is cohesive – it is attracted to itself • Adhesion is attraction between substances of different kinds • Water is adhesive – it is attracted to other polar substances • Adhesion – allows for capillary action that allows water to move up in the stems of plants

  4. Aqueous Solutions • Solution – a mixture in which one or more substances are evenly distributed in another • Aqueous solution – a mixture in which one or more substances are evenly distributed in water • Polarity of water allows many substances to dissolve in it.

  5. Acids and Bases • Water can disassociate into ions: • H2O  H+ + OH- • Water has low number of Hydroxide (OH-) and hydrogen ions (H+) in equal numbers • Acids – form H+ in solution • Bases – form OH- in solution • MORE hydrogen ions = ACID • MORE hydroxide ions = BASE

  6. pH Scale • Based on concentration of hydrogen ions • All solutions have pH between 0 and 14 • Pure water pH = 7 • Acidic solutions pH less than 7 • Basic solutions pH more than 7 • Each whole number represents a factor of 10 on pH scale. pH 5 has 10 times more hydrogen ions than pH 6.
