End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 2 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The Water Molecule Like all molecules, a water molecule is neutral. Polarity Oxygen atoms, with 8 protons, has a much stronger attraction for electrons than does the hydrogen atom with one proton. Thus, the electrons are more likely to be near oxygen than hydrogen.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 3 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The Water Molecule As a result, the oxygen end of the molecule has a slight negative charge and the hydrogen end has a slight positive charge. A water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 5 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The Water Molecule Hydrogen Bonds Because of their partial positive and negative charges, polar molecules attract each other. Attractions between the H atoms on one molecule and the O atom on another water molecule is an example of a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are not as strong as covalent or ionic bonds.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 7 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The Water Molecule Some special properties of water that are due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds: 1.Cohesion This is an attraction between molecules of the same substance. a. Cohesion explains why drops of water form beads on a smooth surface. b. Cohesion also explains why some insects and spiders can walk on water.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 8 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall The Water Molecule 2. Adhesion This is an attraction between molecules of different substances. a. Adhesion explains why the water in the center of a cylinder dips lower than the edges. b. It also is the reason water will rise in a narrow tube. This effect is called capillary action. c. Adhesion and cohesion together explain why water goes up in roots & stems of plants.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 10 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Solutions and Suspensions Solutions All the components of a solution are evenly distributed throughout the solution. In a salt–water solution, table salt is the solute—the substance that is dissolved. Water is the solvent—the substance in which the solute dissolves.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 11 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Solutions and Suspensions When salt is placed in water it separates into sodium and chloride ions. 1.The sodium and chloride ions are attracted to the polar water molecules. 2.The ions get surrounded by water molecules thus creating a solution Na + Cl - Water

Thus, water is the greatest solvent on Earth. However, some compounds will NOT dissolve in water. These are called nonpolar compounds. If you try to dissolve oil in water, it will separate out because: 1. Water molecules are attracted to each other 2. Nonpolar oil molecules will be shoved apart as water molecules come together.

The movement of water molecules keeps the small particles suspended. Such mixtures of water and nondissolved material are known as suspensions. Examples: jello, gravy Blood is both a solution of dissolved solutes like sugar and a suspension of cells & other substances

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 14 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Acids, Bases, and pH A water molecule can break apart to form hydrogen (H + ) and hydroxide ions (OH - ). This is called dissociation. Water is neutral because the number of H + ions produced is equal to the number of OH - produced. An acid is any compound that forms H + ions in solution. Acids turn pH paper red. A base is a compound that produces OH - ions in solution. Bases turn pH paper blue.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 15 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Acids, Bases, and pH The pH scale Chemists devised a measurement system called the pH scale to indicate the concentration of H + ions in solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 16 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Acids, Bases, and pH At a pH of 7, the concentration of H + ions and OH - ions is equal. Pure water has a pH of 7. The pH Scale Human blood Milk Sea water Normal rainfall Pure water

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 17 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Acids, Bases, and pH Solutions with a pH below 7 are called acidic because they have more H + ions than OH - ions. The lower the pH, the greater the acidity. Strong acids have a pH between 1 and 3. Hydrochloric acid in stomach is a strong acid. Acid rain Tomato juice Lemon juice Stomach acids The pH Scale

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 18 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Acids, Bases, and pH Solutions with a pH above 7 are called basic because they have more OH - ions than H + ions. The higher the pH, the more basic the solution. Strong bases, such as oven cleaner, tend to have pH values ranging from 11 to 14. The pH Scale Soap Bleach Oven cleaner Ammonia solution

End Show 2-2 Properties of Water Slide 19 of 44 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Acids, Bases, and pH Buffers The pH of the fluids within most cells in the human body must generally be kept between 6.5 and 7.5. If the pH is lower or higher, it will affect the chemical reactions that take place within the cells. One of the ways that the body controls pH is through dissolved compounds called buffers. Buffers are weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH.
