KEY CONCEPT Water’s unique properties allow life to exist on Earth.

Life depends on hydrogen bonds in water. Water is a polar molecule. Polar molecules have slightly charged regions. O H _ + Atom: Oxygen Charge: Slightly negative Hydrogen bonds Explain: form between slightly positive hydrogen atoms and slightly negative atoms. (oxygen) Atom: Hydrogen Charge: Slightly positive Nonpolar molecules do not have charged regions.

Hydrogen bonds are responsible for three important properties of water. High Specific Heat: water resists changes in temp. – a lot of energy is required Ex.: Provides stability of temperature for land masses surrounded by water & for the temperature of the human body, & makes it an effective cooling agent. Cohesion: water molecules stick to each other. Ex.: Surface tension holds spiders on water Adhesion: water molecules stick to other things. Ex.: Blood sticks to capillaries

Solid ice is less dense than liquid water Ice floats on water: one of the only solids to float on its liquid form – due to arrangement of water molecules due to charged regions (water is polar). Provides insulation for water below (stays at about 4 degrees C – freezing point is 0 degrees C)

Many compounds dissolve in water. A solution is formed when one substance dissolves in another. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. Parts of a solution (Ex. Salt water): Solvents dissolve other substances (Ex.: Water) Solutes dissolve in a solvent. (Ex. Salt) solution

“Like dissolves like.” Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. (Ex.: sugar water) Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. Polar substances and nonpolar substances generally remain separate (think of salad dressing – forms a suspension when shaken) Colloid: Particles intermediate in size between those found in solutions and suspensions can be mixed such that they remain evenly distributed without settling out. Ex.: Blood, milk http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-polarity-makes-water-behave-strangely-christina-kleinberg

Some compounds form acids or bases. Acids release a hydrogen ion when it dissolves in water. Have high hydrogen ion (H+) concentration, low hydroxide ion (OH- ) concentration pH less than 7 more acidic stomach acid pH between 1 and 3

Neutral solutions have equal hydrogen ion (H+) and hydroxide ion (OH- ) concentration pH: 7 pure water pH 7

Bases remove hydrogen ions from a solution. Have low hydrogen ion (H+) concentration, high hydroxide ion (OH-) concentration pH greater than 7 bile pH between 8 and 9 more basic

STOP & REVIEW An _______ releases a __________ ______when it dissolves in water. The pH range for an acid is? A neutral solution has a pH of____. A ______ removes hydrogen ions from a solution. The ph range for a base is?

STOP & REVIEW ANSWERS An acid releases a hydrogen ion when it dissolves in water. The pH range for an acid is? 0-6 A neutral solution has a pH of__7__. A base removes hydrogen ions from a solution. The ph range for a base is? 8-14
