properties of water and ph
- write the chemical equation for water, and draw a stick model of a water molecule. show polarity by label positive and negatively charged regions of the molecule.
- what kind of bond holds the hydrogen to the oxygen in one water molecule?
- what kind of bonds can hold two separate water molecules together?
- what is a polar molecule?
- the polarity of water allows it to __________ most substances. because of this it is referred to as the ____________________.
- water molecules stick to other water molecules. this property is called ______________.
- water molecules stick to other water molecules. this property is called ______________.
- why does ice float on water?
- why is it important that water resists temperature changes?
critical reading: ph
when some substances dissolve in water they break up into ions. a compound that releases a hydrogen ion (a proton) when it dissolves in water is an acid. bases are compounds that remove, or accept, hydrogen ions. a solution’s acidity, or its hydrogen ion concentration, is measured on the ph scale. an acid has a low ph (ph below 7) and a high hydrogen ion concentration. a base has a high ph (ph above 7) and a low hydrogen ion concentration. organisms must maintain a stable ph. even a small change in ph can disrupt many biological processes.
- describe what the ph of a substance is measuring.
- draw the ph scale and label acid, neutral, and base.
- what has more hydrogen ions, acids or bases?
Question 3
In a water molecule ($H_2O$), the bond between hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) within one molecule is a covalent bond. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons. In water, the oxygen and each hydrogen share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Two separate water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force (a force between molecules) that occurs when a hydrogen atom, which is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen in water), is attracted to another electronegative atom (like the oxygen in another water molecule).
A polar molecule is a molecule in which there is an unequal distribution of electron density, resulting in a partial positive charge on one part of the molecule and a partial negative charge on another part. This occurs when there is a significant difference in electronegativity between the atoms in the molecule, and the molecular geometry is such that the dipole moments do not cancel out. For example, in water ($H_2O$), the oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the electrons in the O - H bonds are pulled closer to the oxygen, giving the oxygen a partial negative charge ($\delta^-$) and the hydrogens partial positive charges ($\delta^+$).
