General Chemistry Element –composed of atoms Nucleus –protons (+) and neutrons (0) Electrons (-)
2
Figure 5.1
4
General Chemistry Molecule –a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds
5
General Chemistry Bonds –covalent bonds form when electrons are shared
7
General Chemistry Bonds –ionic bonds form by attraction between particles with opposite charges
9
Water H 2 O covalent bonds hold the 2 hydrogen & 1 oxygen together
10
Two hydrogen atoms... share their electrons with one oxygen atom... to form a water molecule held together by covalent bonds... which acts as if it has negative and positive ends. Nucleus ( + 1 unit of charge) Electron ( – 1 unit of charge) Stepped Art 2–2– 105 ° Fig. 6-1, p. 122

12
Water Water molecules have an uneven distribution of charge = polar or dipolar –H positive –O negative
13
Water Polar nature of water leads to: –attraction of other water molecules= cohesion –attraction of other charged or polar molecules=adhesion
14
Water Hydrogen Bonds –form between hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another

Water Universal solvent Solution –solvent –solute

Seawater 96.5% water & 3.5% solutes solutes change properties of water

25
Salinity total concentration of all dissolved inorganic solids average = 3.5% or 35 ppt (35 o / oo )
26
Sources of Ocean’s salts weathering of surface rocks (stream run-off) –sodium, magnesium, calcium Outgassing (volcanoes and hydrothermal vents) –chlorine, carbon dioxide, sulfur, hydrogen
27
The Ocean is in Chemical Equilibrium Overall amount of dissolved salts in the ocean is nearly constant Additions of salts are balance by the removal of salts
28

29
Dissolved Gases Needed by organisms Gases dissolve more readily in cold water major gases –nitrogen48% –oxygen36% –carbon dioxide15%
30
Nitrogen Needed for proteins bacteria must “fix” the nitrogen most recycled among organisms
31
Oxygen More abundant in atmosphere (100x) than in ocean photosynthesis & diffusion add oxygen respiration by organisms uses up oxygen
32
Carbon Dioxide More abundant in ocean (about 60x) than in atmosphere respiration by organisms adds carbon dioxide Photosynthesis uses up carbon dioxide

34
Acid-Base Balance Use pH scale to measure acidity or alkalinity pH scales measure concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) pH scale is logarithmic…a change of 1 pH unit represents a ten-fold difference in H+ concentrations Low pH = acidic, high pH = basic

Fig. 6-17, p. 134
37
Acid-Base Balance Seawater pH is about 8, slightly alkaline CO 2 dissolves in water to form carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ) –Carbonic acid breaks down to H+, bicarbonate ion (HCO 3 - )and carbonate ion (CO 3 2- ) –this acts to buffer seawater from large swings in pH as acids and bases are introduced in the ocean
38
Figure 5.21
39
Acid-Base Balance Excess CO 2 can lower pH –This occurs in cold, deep water where respiration occurs but no photosynthesis –This low pH of 7.5 can dissolve calcium carbonate sediments Global change is causing ocean acidification
