Water’s Unique Properties • There are strong forces of attraction between molecules of water. Hydrogen bonds • Water is a polar molecule • Water is amphoteric (can act as both acid & base) • Water exists as a liquid over a wide temp range. • Liquid water changes temperature slowly. High specific heat • Liquid water can dissolve a variety of compounds. • Water expands when it freezes.
Attraction Between Molecules • There are strong forces of attraction between molecules of water. • Hydrogen bonds • Result in many distinctive properties
Liquid state Exists in liquid state over wide range of temperatures: 32° F to 212° F This is important because most biological processes require liquid water.
Unique Role of Water in Biological Systems It makes up about 70% of the human body • It takes up about 71% of the Earth’s surface.
Key Role in Biological Systems • Water is critical to virtually all cellular function • Metabolism • Diffusion • Osmosis • Transport • Reproduction • Lubricant • Volume • Cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + energy • Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2
High Heat Capacity • Water warms & cools slower than surrounding land • Helps moderate earth’s climate
Universal Solvent: • Water can dissolve many substances. • Carry nutrients • flush wastes • distribute particles • facilitate other cycles • Unfortunately, it can become polluted by water-soluble wastes & transport wastes thru ecosystem
Expands When Frozen • Ice has a lower density than liquid water. Thus, ice floats on water. • One of the only exceptions to thermal expansion
Surface tension • Surface behaves like an elastic membrane • Cohesion– water molecules stick to each other
Capillary action Long narrow columns of water rise through roots to leaves Adhesion– water molecules stick to other surface
What are solutions? Solute • Homogeneous mixtures containing 2 or more substances called the solute and the solvent. Solvent • When you look at a solution it is impossible to tell the solute from the solvent
Solutions • Solute- what is being dissolved • Solvent- the dissolving medium (causes the dissolving) • Solution- the resulting homogeneous mixture • Aqueous Solution - water is solvent • Dilution – adding more solvent = less concentrated
Universal Solvent • Water is the most common solvent among liquid solutions • H2O is polar, having a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen end and negative charge on the oxygen end. • Because water is polar it dissolve other polar and ionic compounds
Dissolution or Solvation of Solid Solute = Dissolving Happens only on the surface Water molecules surround, attract, and pull ions or molecules into solution
Like dissolves Like • Polar substances dissolve polar • Nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar • Water is polar…which of the above will dissolve in H2O Mineral Oil Isopropyl Alcohol Glucose
Solubility • Solubility is maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in solvent at a set of condition • Soluble - A substance that dissolves in a solvent ex. Salt and water • Insoluble - A substance that does not dissolve ex. Sand and water • Miscible – 2 liquids that are soluble • Ex. Alcohol and water • Immiscible – 2 liquids that aren’t soluble • Oil and Water
Factors Affecting Solubility& Rate of Dissolution (Dissolving) • Nature of Solute / Solvent. - Like dissolves like • Polar dissolves polar; nonpolar dissolves nonpolar • 2. Temperature - affects velocity of particles • 3. Pressure • 4. Agitation = Stirring – disperses particles • Surface Area: crushing increases surface area on which dissolving can occur Sugar cubes vs Granulated sugar
Factors Affecting Solubility& Rate of Dissolution (Dissolving) ↑ ↓ N/A ↑ ↑ ↓ N/A – can’t crush a gas! ↑
General Solubility Rules • Use STAAR Chart to determine Which Ionic compounds are soluble and insoluble • NaNO3 • AgCl • Be3(PO4)2 • Na3PO4 soluble insoluble insoluble soluble
Types of Solutions • Electrolytes – ionic compounds dissolve into ions conducts electric current the more ions → stronger current • Nonelectrolytes – molecular compounds: stay molecules in solution no ions → do not conduct current
Nonelectrolyte Strong electrolyte Weak electrolyte
Electrolytes in the Body • Carry messages to and from the brain as electrical signals • Maintain cellular function with the correct concentrations electrolytes
Types of Solutions • Saturated Solution: Full • Unsaturated Solution: not full • Supersaturated Solution: overly Full, crystals will form when disturbed
Saturated Solution • Contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solute at at specific temperature • No more will dissolve • Will be a point on the line of a Solubility Graph Ex. NaClO3 at 40°
Unsaturated solution • contains less dissolved solute for a given temperature and pressure than a saturated solution • More can be dissolved • Will be a point under the line on graph Ex. NaClO3 at 40°
Supersaturated solution • contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature • Contains more than it should • Will precipitate if disturbed • Will be a point above the line Ex. NaClO3 at 40°

Solubility Graph Determine type of solution: 30 grams of NaClat 10°C Unsaturated 30 grams of K2Cr2O7 at 50°C Saturated 50 grams of KCl at 40°C Supersaturated
moles solute ( M ) = Molarity Liters of solution Concentration of Solute The amount of solute in a solution is given by itsconcentration. EX: A liter of solution containing 0.1 mole of solute is a 0.1 M solution
A 100.5ml intravenous, IV, solution contains 5.10g of glucose (C6H12O6). What is the molarity of this solution? 0.0283 Moles of solute = Molarity = Mass of solute = 5.10g C6H12O6 Volume of solution = 100.5ml Molarity = ? Liters of solution .1005 1st – calculate the # of moles 1 mole C6H12O6 5.10g C6H12O6 = 0.0283 mol C6H12O6 180.16g C6H12O6 2nd – convert milliliters into liters (1000 ml = 1 L) 0.1005 100.5ml = ______________L 3rd – use formula to solve = 0.282M
Dilution Quite often, however, solutions are prepared by diluting a more concentrated solution. For example, if you needed a one molar solution you could start with a six molar solution and dilute it. The number of moles of solute stays the same. You have simply increased the amount of solvent in the solution Because total # of moles of solute doesnotchange during dilution: moles in stock solution = moles after dilution, so: Molaritydecreases as Volume increases V1M1= V2M2
What volume of a 3.0 M KI stock solution would you use to make a 0.50 L of a 1.5M KI solution??? 1st : Make a list M1 = 3.0 M V1 = ? V2 = 0.50 L M2 = 1.5 M Then plug into formula: V1M1 = V2M2 V1 (3.0) = 0.50(1.5) And solve for V1 = 0.50(1.5) 3.0 = 0.25 L
