2 Properties of Water Polar molecule Cohesion and adhesion
High specific heat Density – greatest at 4oC Universal solvent of life

3 HYDROGEN BONDS Extraordinary Properties that are a result of hydrogen bonds. Cohesive behavior Resists changes in temperature High heat of vaporization Expands when it freezes Versatile solvent Holds ___________ molecules together Each water molecule can form a maximum of ____ hydrogen bonds The hydrogen bonds joining water molecules are weak, about ________ as strong as ________________bonds. They _______, break, and _____________ with great frequency

4 Cohesion Cohesion is responsible for the transport of the water column in plants Cohesion among water molecules plays a key role in the transport of water against gravity in plants Examples from the lab:

5 Surface Tension Water has a greater surface tension than most other liquids because hydrogen bonds among surface water molecules resist stretching or breaking the surface. Examples from lab:

6 Adhesion ____________________________ is related to adhesion and is the ability of a liquid to flow opposition to gravity as water “adheres” up a narrow column made of a polar substance, like glass or plastic. Lab Examples:

7 Ice is about ______% less dense than water at 4oC.
When water reaches 0oC, water becomes locked into a ___________________ lattice with each molecule bonded to to the maximum of __________ partners. As ice starts to melt, some of the hydrogen bonds _________ and some water molecules can slip closer together than they can while in the ice state. Ice is about ______% less dense than water at 4oC.

8 Density of Water Most dense at 4oC ___________ until 4oC
___________ from 4oC to 0oC The density of water: Prevents water from freezing from the ______________. Ice forms on the surface first—the freezing of the water releases heat to the water below creating ______________________. Makes transition between season less abrupt.

9 Moderates Temperatures on Earth
Water can absorb or release relatively large amounts of heat with only a slight change in its own temperature. Celsius Scale at Sea Level 100oC Water boils 37oC Human body temperature 23oC Room temperature 0oC Water freezes What is kinetic energy? Heat? Temperature? Calorie? What is the difference in cal and Cal? What is specific heat?

10 Specific Heat: Water has a _____________ __________specific heat, meaning it takes a lot of energy to raise its temperature. Prevention of temperature fluctuations that are outside the range suitable for life. Coastal areas having a __________ climate A stable marine environment

11 Evaporative Cooling The cooling of a ________________ occurs when the liquid ______________________ This is responsible for: Moderating earth’s climate Stabilizes temperature in oceans/lakes Preventing organisms from overheating

12 Universal Solvent Water (solvent) is wicked good at Examples from Lab:
