2.2 Water Flashcards
Hydrogen Bonds
- 2 H to 1 O
-molecule H2O is polar
-H2O is ionic bond
-gives water properties (cohesive, adhesive, thermal, solvent)
Cohesion
Binding together of two meolecules of the same type
-water stics together
-useful for water transport in plants
Adhesion
Hydrogen bonds form between water and other polar molecules.
-useful in leaves (water adheres to cellulose)
Thermal
1) high specfic heat capacity
2) high latent heat of vaporization
3) high boiling point
Solvent
Water forms bonds with other polar molecules. Hydrogen and negative ions they are bonded to dissolve.
High Specific Heat Capacity
-Hydrogen bonds reduce molecules motion
-Much heat needed to separate the bonds
-Takes much time to heat up or cool down
-Stable temperature
High Latent Heat Of Vaporization
-Hydrogen bonds have to be broken to evaporate
-Evaporation has cooling effect
-Example: sweat
High Boiling Point
-Highest temperature in liquid state
-High boiling point
-Broad change of temperatures (0°C to 100°C)
Hydrophyllic
-Chemically attracted to water
-Dissolve in water
-Substances water adheres to
-polar molecules
Hydrophobic
-Substances insoluble in water
-non polar molecules
