3. What is Water?

4. Free write – In your Journal  What does the ocean mean to you?  What moves from you to the ocean?  What moves from the ocean to you?

5. Water?  Water’s chemical symbol is H 2 O.  Water is made of 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule.  Water is a molecular compound, so the molecules are held together with covalent bonds.

6. Chemical Make-up of Water  Hydrogen Atomic Number = 1 Atomic Number = 1 Atomic Mass = 1 Atomic Mass = 1 Contains: Contains: 1 proton1 proton 1 electron1 electron 0 neutron0 neutron  Oxygen Atomic Number = 8 Atomic Number = 8 Atomic Mass = 16 Atomic Mass = 16 Contains Contains 8 protons8 protons 8 electrons8 electrons 8 neutrons8 neutrons

7. Water continued…  The hydrogen side of a water molecule has a slight positive charge. On the other side of the molecule a negative charge exists. This is known as molecular polarity. This allows water to be a universal solvent. This allows water to be a universal solvent.

8. Unique features of water  Surface tension Water has a high surface tension due to water’s molecular polarity. Water has a high surface tension due to water’s molecular polarity.  Specific heat Is the amount of energy required to change the temperature of a substance Is the amount of energy required to change the temperature of a substance Water has a high specific heat Water has a high specific heat  pH Pure water has a neutral pH Pure water has a neutral pH  Solvent Liquid water is a universal solvent as it is able to dissolve a large number of different chemical compounds. Liquid water is a universal solvent as it is able to dissolve a large number of different chemical compounds.

9. Testing Surface Tension  Complete the lab activity provided

10. Surface Tension…  causes water to be adhesive and elastic  allows water to aggregate in drops rather than spread out over a surface as a thin film  also causes water to stick to the sides of vertical structures  allows for the formation of water droplets and waves  allows plants to move water (and dissolved nutrients) from their roots to their leaves  allows the movement of blood through tiny vessels in the bodies of some animals

11. Solutions review…  Thinking back to grade 7 and grade 9… Solute Solute Solvent Solvent Solution Solution  The ability of a substance to dissolve another is dependant on the molecular arrangement of the 2 substances.  Water has molecular polarity and will easily dissolve other molecules with molecular polarity because their molecules will be attracted to water’s molecules. other molecules with molecular polarity because their molecules will be attracted to water’s molecules. or ionic compounds will dissolve in water because their ions will be attracted to either pole of a water molecule. or ionic compounds will dissolve in water because their ions will be attracted to either pole of a water molecule.

12. Density Review  Density What is it? What is it? How is it calculated? How is it calculated?  In general, materials become more dense when they are cooled and less dense when they are heated.  Denser objects sink in less dense liquids.  Less dense objects will float in denser liquids.  Complete the density lab

13. Discussion Question  What are some different forms of water?  How does water “move”?

14. The Phases of Water  Water can be found in all three states of matter: Solid Solid Liquid Liquid Gas Gas

15. Solid Water  Water molecules have little to no movement.  Holds shape of the container.  Has a fixed volume.  Decreased density, ice expands its volume by 9% when cooling.  Occurs at less then 0 o C.

16. Liquid Water  Takes the shape of the container.  Has a fixed volume.  Molecules move freely.

17. Gaseous Water  Called water vapour.  Takes the shape of the container.  Has the volume of the container.  Molecular bonds break and move freely.  Occurs at over 100 o C

18. Free write – In your journal  : “Even if you never have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume. Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.” - Sylvia Earle What does this quote mean to you? What does this quote mean to you?

19. How is water distributed on Earth?

20.  71% of the Earth is covered by water 3% of this water is freshwater 3% of this water is freshwater 1% of this water is Canadian 1% of this water is Canadian  Other than on the surface, where are other water reservoirs?

21.  most of the water found on this planet is held within the oceans.  icecaps and glaciers contain about 2 % of the world's total water, and about 60 % of the freshwater supply  freshwater found in groundwater, lakes, rivers, soil, and the atmosphere makes up less than 1 % of the Earth's supply

23. Discussion question  Even though the map shows one, is there an actual boundary between land and the ocean?

24. The Water Cycle

26. What is the composition and properties of salt water?

27. Composition of salt water  87% of the salt in the oceans comes from sodium and chloride ions. The average concentration of salt is known as salinity.  Nutrients: Nitrogen Nitrogen Phosphorus Phosphorus Silicon Silicon  Gasses: Nitrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Oxygen Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide Hydrogen Hydrogen

28. Where does the Salt in the Oceans come from?  Salt comes from River run off River run off Chemical activity at deep ocean vents Chemical activity at deep ocean vents Biological activity Biological activity

29. Properties of Salt Water  Salt lowers the freezing point of water. When ice forms, the salt is forced out leaving more salty water beneath the ice. When ice forms, the salt is forced out leaving more salty water beneath the ice.  Salt water is more dense then fresh water.  Warm salt water does not hold as much oxygen.

30. How much salt is in the oceans?  Salinity Determined by 1 gram of salt for every 1000 grams of fresh water Determined by 1 gram of salt for every 1000 grams of fresh water Oceans have a salinity of 35% Oceans have a salinity of 35% Compared to:Compared to: Fresh Water = 10% Fresh Water = 10% Brackish Water = 17% Brackish Water = 17%

31. How is salinity determined?  Evaporate the water and weigh the salt residue.  Measure the electrical conductivity of the water.  Measure the density of the water.

32. Salinity changes around the Earth

33. Global salinity  Examples Red Sea = 41% Red Sea = 41% Dead Sea = 240% Dead Sea = 240%  Why does salinity change? When evaporation of water happens, salt is left behind. Ocean water is more salty in the tropical regions than in the poles since tropical regions experience more evaporation.
