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

2 Review Ion- an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. Molecule- is two or more atoms held by covalent bonds. Ionic bonds- forms through the electrical force between oppositely charged ions. Covalent bonds- forms when atoms share a pair of electrons. Compound- is substance made of atoms of different elements bonded together in a certain ratio.

3 Question When you are thirsty, you need to drink something that is mostly water. Why is the water you drink absolutely necessary?

4 Life depends on hydrogen bonds in water.
Water is a polar molecule. Polar molecules have slightly charged regions. O H _ + Nonpolar molecules do not have charged regions. Hydrogen bonds form between slightly positive    hydrogen atoms and slightly negative atoms.

5 Hydrogen bonds are responsible for three important properties of water.
high specific heat- The amount of heat or energy required to raise a unit of mass of a substance 1 degree Celsius Cohesion- The attraction among molecules of a substance. The cohesion between water molecules make them stick together. Adhesion- attraction of molecules to a different substance. Water sticks to other surfaces. This includes Capillary action.

6 Summary Question: How are Hydrogen bonds similar to ionic bonds? Summary: Write a 3-5 sentence summary about what we talked about today.

7 Many compounds dissolve in water.
A solution is formed when one substance dissolves in another. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. Solvents are substances that are present in a greater amount and dissolve other substances. Solutes substance that dissolves in a solvent. solution

8 “Like dissolves like.” Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. (Like water and salt) Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. ( Polar substances and nonpolar substances generally remain separate. (like oil and water)

9 Summary Question: Look at the ingredients of Dr. Pepper and tell me what the solutes and solvents are. Make a column for each. Dr Pepper Ingredients: carbonated water, sugar/glucose-fructose, colour, phosphoric acid, artificial and natural flavours, sodium benzoate, caffeine.

10 Some compounds form acids or bases.
An acid releases a hydrogen ion when it dissolves in water. (HCL or hydrochloric acid) high H+ concentration pH less than 7 more acidic stomach acid pH between 1 and 3

11 A base removes hydrogen ions from a solution
A base removes hydrogen ions from a solution. (CaCO3 or calcium carbonate, what’s in TUMS) low H+ concentration pH greater than 7 bile pH between 8 and 9 more basic

12 A neutral solution has a pH of 7. (distilled water)
pure water pH 7
