Figure 3.1 Water: A Molecule That Supports All of Life • 3/4 of the Earth’s surface • Abundance is the main reason the Earth is habitable
– + Hydrogenbonds H – + H + – – + Figure 3.2 Polar Nature of Water • Oxygen Highly electro negative • Polarity of water molecules Hydrogen bonds between molecules
Properties of Water • Cohesion: Capillary Action • High Specific Heat: Moderation of Temperature • Ice Floats • Universal Solvent
– + Hydrogenbonds H – + H + – – + Figure 3.2 Cohesion • Bonding to neighboring molecules • Due to hydrogen bonding
Water conducting cells 100 µm Figure 3.3 Cohesion • Transpiration pull water up through the microscopic vessels of plants
Figure 3.4 Cohesion • Surface tension
Water moderates air temperature • Absorbs heat from air that is warmer and releasing the stored heat to air that is cooler
Water High Specific Heat • Amount of heat absorbed or lost to change its temperature • hydrogen bonds • Evaporative Cooling: Sweat
Hydrogen bond Liquid water Hydrogen bonds constantly break and re-form Ice Hydrogen bonds are stable Figure 3.5 Ice Floats • Hydrogen bonds in ice • More “ordered” than in liquid water less dense
Ice Floats Water is most dense at 4 deg. C • Because ice floats in water life can exist under the frozen surfaces of lakes and polar seas 1.0g/cm3= liquid 0.9g/cm3= ice

Water: Solvent of Life • Hydophilic • Hydrophobic Benzene
Solute Concentration • Molecular Mass: Sum of the masses of all the atom in a molecule • Avogadro's Numbe: 6.0 x 10-23 Daltons= 1g • Molar Mass: molecular mass x Avogadro’s # (usually on chemical label) (moles) • Molarity : The number of moles of solute per litter of solution.
Examples • If you have 5 M of a solute in 2.5 L of solution what is the molarity of the solution? • The Concentration of a solute in blood is 1.3 x10-10 M. How many molecules of this solute would be in a liter of blood?
What is pH? Hydronium concentration in water is 10-7. pH is –log of H+ concentration Acids increase H+ concentration Bases reduce H+ concentration Acidic = Higher H+ Basic = Higher OH-
pH Scale 0 1 Battery acid 2 Digestive (stomach) juice, lemon juice 3 Vinegar, beer, wine, cola Increasingly Acidic [H+] > [OH–] 4 Tomato juice 5 Black coffee Rainwater 6 Urine Neutral [H+] = [OH–] 7 Pure water Human blood 8 Seawater 9 10 Milk of magnesia Increasingly Basic [H+] < [OH–] 11 Household ammonia 12 Household bleach 13 Oven cleaner 14 Figure 3.8 pH scale
Buffers • Minimize changes in pH • Carbonic acid in the blood
