😋
What is cohesion?
Bonding between H2O molecules
What is adhesion?
Bonding between H2O and other substances
What is a solvent?
What is dissolved in
What is specific heat?
Energy it takes to heat 1g of substance by 1 degree Celsius.
What is heat of vaporization?
energy it takes to for 1g of water to evaporate.
What is concentration?
solute/volume
What is pH?
Potential hydronium
What is pOH?
Potential hydroxide
What is a hydroxide ion?
H3O
What is a hydronium ion?
OH
What is acid?
More hydronium (H3O)
What is base?
More hydroxide (OH)
What are the five properties of water?
Cohesion and adhesion; water is a solvent; ice is less dense than liquid water; high specific heat; and heat of vaporization
How does hydrogen bonds/polarity give water cohesion and adhesion and why is it important for life?
Polarity allows it to form strong bonds. It allows plants to take up water and water bugs to walk on water.
How does hydrogen bonds/polarity give water a solvent property and why is it important for life?
The polarity makes water strong and allows it to bond with solutes. Dissolving in water is easier to transport.
