Molecules Molecules in action Part II
Properties • Adhesion- water molecules stick to unlike surfaces such as glass or plastic( -) Meniscus • Cohesion – water molecules stick to each other – “ sticky Mickeys” – drop of water • Water exists in three states on Planet earth ( Liquid – aquatic environment outside us and inside us)
More • Specific heat – Water does not change temperature as rapdily as air- high specific heat • Density of water = 1g/ml • Surface tension – • Solutions – universal solvent- • Dissolves – salts( ionic bonds), sugar( non polar covalent), and polar covalent( unequal sharing)
Yea or Nay • Hydrophilic – water loving • Hydrophobic – water hating or fearing Polar molecule?
Water and hydrogen ions • http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/problem_sets/ph/ph.html
Acid and Base • Acids are hydrogen donors or proton donors COOH COO- + H+ • Bases are hydrogen acceptors or proton acceptors NH2 NH3+
pH • pH = The concentration of H+ ions • The negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution. • pH = - log[ H30]
Ionization of Acids • H2CO3(aq) H+(aq) + HCO3-(aq)
Buffers • H2PO4-(aq) H+(aq) + HPO4-2 (aq)
Amino Acid Structure • Alanine
Amino acids • http://www.johnkyrk.com/aminoacid.html
Structural formula and condensed • Complete Structural Formula • H H H| | |H - C - C - C - H| | |H H-C-H H|H • Condensed Structural Formula CH3CHCH3CH3 orCH(CH3)3
Covalent Bonds • Carbonic acid
