bonding between 2 water molecules

21
New cards

Explain the structure and bonding of a water molecule (Hint 2 things)

2. bonding = polar covalent

22
New cards

Electronegativity

measure of tendency of atom to attract shared pair of electrons in chemical bond

lower-left --> upper-right

<p>lower-left --&gt; upper-right</p>
24
New cards

Explain why water is polar covalent (Hint 2 main things)

1. hydrogens = more postivie bc have less electronegativity (don't hold on to electrons as long --> more positive)

2. oxygen = more negative bc has more electronegativity (holds on to electrons longer --> more negative)

25

What type of bonding does water have with other molecules

hydrogen bond

26
New cards

Properties of water (Hint 6 things)

1. universal solvent

2. specific heat capacity

3. adhesion

4. cohesion

5. surface tension

6. capillary action

27
New cards

Universal Solvent

Water's ability to dissolve more substances than any other liquid

28
New cards

Why is water a universal solvent

1. water = polar + has charge

2. able to dissolve like bases (dissolve other polar/charged substances)

29
New cards

Explain "like" dissolves "like"

polar dissolves polar

nonpolar dissolves nonpolar

(Like in math when you combine lile terms)

30
New cards

Is water able to dissolve sugar, explain (Hint 1 thing)

1. both substances are polar solvents

31
New cards

Is water able to dissolve salt (NaCl), explain (Hint 4 things)

both substances are polar solvents

1. sodium = positive + chloine = negative

2. oxygen = negative + hydrogens = positive

3. opposites attract + breaks bond between sodium + chlorine

32
New cards

Is water able to dissovle oil, explain (Hint 2 things)

1. water = polar + oil = nonpolar

2. not like bases --> can't combine

33
New cards

Specific Heat Capacity

amount of heat energy needed to raise temp of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius

34
New cards

What does it mean if something has a low specific heat capacity

substance needs less energy to change its temperature (heats up faster)

35
New cards

What does it mean if something has a high specific heat capacity

substance needs more energy to change its temp (heats up slower)

36
New cards

Why does water have a high specific heat capacity

it needs more heat to break apart strong hydrogen bonds

37
New cards

Adhesion

attraction between molecules of different substances (water attracted to something else)

38
New cards

Give 2 examples of adhesion with water

1. water + paper towels

2. water + glass

39
New cards

Cohesion

Attraction between molecules of the same substance (water attacted to water)

40
New cards

Give an example of cohesion with water

1. water + water

41
New cards

Surface Tension

property of water that allows its surface to resist external forces

(stretchy "skin" on surface of liquid)

<p>property of water that allows its surface to resist external forces</p><p>(stretchy "skin" on surface of liquid)</p>
42
New cards

How does cohesion relate to surface tension

1. water molecules at surface don't have any molecules above them

2. experience greater downward pull + make surface tension

43
New cards

How is a paper clip able to float in water

surface tension --> cohesion makes bonds between water stronger + helps support paper clip's weight

44
New cards

What happens to paper clip when surface tension is disrupted

paper clip sinks --> surface tension = disrupted + strong cohesive bonds break/weakens + no longer support objects

45
New cards

What happens to surface tension when soap is added to water

soap = distrupts cohesive bonds --> bonds become weak + break

46
New cards

Capillary Action (Hint 3 things)

1. water sticks to narrow tube

2. sticks to itself

3. moves upward

47
New cards

How does capillary action relate to adhesion and cohesion

Ahesion --> water sticks to sides of glass

Cohesion --> water sticks to itself

(then can slowly move upwards)

48
New cards

Meniscus

curved surface of water you see in container

<p>curved surface of water you see in container</p>
49
New cards

How does structure of water influence its functions

1. universal solvent = allows to dissolve like vs like substances

2. hydrogen bond = strong bonds --> high specific heat capacity + surface tension + capillary action

50
New cards

pH

degree of acidity in solution

51
New cards

True or False: pH is a ratio between hydrogens (H+) + hydoroxides (OH-)

True --> ratio determines whether substance is acidic, nuetral, or basic

52
New cards

Describe the pH scale

ranges from 0 - 14

0 --> acidic

7 --> neutral

14 --> basic

53
New cards

54
New cards

What does it mean to be nuetral

OH - equal to H+ (range = 7)

55
New cards

What does it mean to be basic

OH - greater than H+ (ranger between 8-14)

56
New cards

Describe when pH is acidic

1. H+ > OH-

2. pH < 7

57
New cards

Describe when pH is neutral

65
New cards

How to maintain pH using buffers

cancel out any other reactivity to make it around regular pH level

66
New cards

What is an example of maintaining pH levels using buffers

sugar on apple --> doesn't make it brown

1. stops enzymes (blocks H+) from working + combining w/ oxygen (keeps it from browning)
