Chapter 3 Flashcards
Hydrogen Bonding
When a negative pole of one molecule is bonded to a positive pole of another molecule
Cohesion
When the hydrogen bonds hold the structure together (beads of water)
Adhesion
The clinging of one substance to another substance (water strider walking on water)
Calorie
The amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of water 1C
Specific Heat
The amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1g of that substance to change temperature by 1*C
Water’s Specific Heat
Heat is used up to break/form hydrogen bonds before it causes that water molecules to move faster or slower
-Allows water to store heat without changing temperature. Causes milder coastal climates and and a favorable marine environment
Heat of Vaporization
Quantity of heat needed for a liquid to be converted to a gaseous state
Moderates the Earths climate, accounts for severity of steam burns
Solid Water less Dense than Liquid
When water molecules are converted from the liquid to solid state, they become locked in a crystalline lattice in which the hydrogen bonds keep the water molecules at length from eachother. Causes a 10 percent reduction in density.
This allows marine life to live year round
Solvent
Dissolving agent of a solution
Solution
A liquid that is homogenous mixture of two or more substances
Solute
Substance that is dissolved
Hydrophobic
Repel Water
Hydrophylic
Affinity to Water
