Water and Life. Why Water?

Water: H 2 O

Boiling Point and Freezing Point F.P B.P liquid range Water (H 2 O) 0 o C 100 o C 100 o C Hydrogen Sulfide (H 2 S) -84 o C -60 o C 24 o C Hydrogen Selenide (H 2 Se) -64 o C -42 o C 22 o C Hydrogen Telluride (H 2 Te) -49 o C 2 o C 47 o C Water is the only substance that exists as a gas, solid, and liquid at ambient earth temperatures
7
H2OH2O Two hydrogen atoms One Oxygen atom
8
Hydrogen: 1 electron (-), 1 proton (+) Oxygen: 8 electrons (-), 8 protons (+) In water, the hydrogens shares their one electron with oxygen, which shares one of its electrons with each hydrogen. This sharing of electrons forms the bond between hydrogen and oxygen atoms to make the water molecule.

10
Water is Unbalanced by Oxygen
11
O H H Electrons are negatively charged, protons positive Oxygen is “electron greedy” Oxygen pulls electrons toward itself and away from hydrogen e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e- This pulling of electrons toward itself is called “electronegativity” P+

Hydrogen Bonding in Water

Implications Liquidity Excellent Solvent Surface Tension Density Thermal Properties
23
Surface Tension
24
Density MVMV grams cm 3
25
Most substances are denser in their solid state than in their liquid state (the solid will sink in the liquid) Density
26
Low energy Closely packed Occupy small volume High Density High energy Loosely packed Occupy large volume Low Density
27
Low Energy Low Volume Dense High Energy High Volume Less Dense MV1MV1 MV2MV2
28
The lower the energy, the higher the density Energy corresponds to temperature Lower temperature, lower energy, close packing Solids have lower energy and higher density than liquids Solids sink in liquids Water is the exception. Lower temperature, close packing, higher density The density of pure water at 25 o C is 0.997 g/mL. The density of ice at 0 o C is about 0.917 g/mL.

Importance
32
Thermal Properties Heat Capacity Heat and Temperature Change
33
alcohol water Thermometers
34
Heat Capacity When heat is added to water, the molecules speed up or vibrate more freely. This disturbs hydrogen bonds, but causes only a small change in temperature, because much of the heat energy is used to break or disrupt the hydrogen bonds 1 cal/g · o C The amount of heat input required to raise the temperature of a 1 g of a substance by 1 o C.
35
Water has a high heat capacity (ability to absorb heat without changing temperature) It requires 1 calorie of heat in 1 g of water to raise the temperature by 1 degree It requires 0.2 calories of heat in 1 g of sand to raise the temperature by 1 degree It requires 0.1 calories of heat in 1 g of iron to raise the temperature by 1 degree
36
Temperatures of large standing bodies of water remain relatively constant. Prevents wide temperature fluctuations
