1
Should we control a chemical that: u Causes excessive sweating and vomiting. u Is a major component in acid rain. u Can cause severe burns in its gaseous state.
2
u Accidental inhalation can kill you. u Contributes to erosion. u Decreases the effectiveness of car brakes. u Has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.
3
What is the chemical?
4
Chapter 3 Water and the Fitness of the Environment
5
Question? What molecule Is the most common In living Cells
6
The Water Planet
7
Properties Of Water u Be ready and able to discuss several of the following properties. u Focus on definitions and examples. u Review water structure and H-bonds from Chapter 2.
8
Liquid Water Is Cohesive
9
Liquid Water is Adhesive
10
Water transport in trees uses Cohesion and Adhesion
11
Water Has A High Surface Tension
12
Water Has A High Specific Heat
13
Heat
14
Temperature
15
Celsius Scale u Will be used for most of our temperature measurements.
16
Water Stabilizes Temperature
17
Water Has A High Heat Of Vaporization
18
Evaporative Cooling
19
Result:
20
Water Expands When It Freezes
22
Solids and Liquids WaterBenzene Floats Sinks
23
Solid LiquidGas States of Matter
24
Result u Aquatic life can live under ice.
25
Water Is A Versatile Solvent
26
Solution
27
Solvent
28
Solute
29
Hydrophilic Materials
32
Hydrophobic
33
Without Water Life Would Not Be Possible!!
34
Solution Concentration u Usually based on Molarity.
35
Moles
36
One Mole of each Sulfur Sugar Copper Sulfate Mercury Oxide Copper Sodium Chloride
37
Comment u AP Biology students should be able to calculate solutions in Molarity.
38
Dissociation of Water u Water can sometimes split into two ions. u In pure water the concentration of each ion is 10 -7 M
39
u Adding certain solutes disrupts the balance between the two ions. u The two ions are very reactive and can drastically affect a cell.
40
Acids
41
Acid Rain
43
Bases
44
Neutrals
45
pH Scale
47
Example: For a neutral solution: [H + ] is 10 -7 or - log 10 -7 or - (-7) or 7
49
Comment u [H + ] + [OH - ] = 14 u Therefore, if you know the concentration of one ion, you can easily calculate the other.
50
Buffers
51
Summary u Be able to discuss the properties of water. u Be able to measure solution concentrations in Molarity. u Be able to work pH scale questions.
