Chapter 3 AGUA Flashcards
Electronegativity
Describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons toward itself
Polar covalent
Different in electronegativity across the molecule due to uneven sharing of e-
Adhesion
Attraction between unlike substances
Cohesion
Attraction between like substances based upon charge difference
Is attraction a bond?
No, due to no interaction of valence e-
Surface tension
Result of cohesion, H2O has high surface tension
H2O molecule bending
104.5°
Specific heat
Amount of E needed to raise the temperature of 1g of substance
Water specific heat
4.186 joules/g*C
pH is on what scale
-log[H+]
Avagadros Nubmer
6.02x10^23
Molarity
moles per liter
Emergent Properties
New properties post chemical reaction
Kinetic E
E of motion/movement
Potential E
E of position, possesses the ability to move
Temeprature
average thermal/kinetic E, not dependent upon volume
Thermal E
total amount of Kinetic E, dependent on volume
Evaporative cooling
H2O molecules with higher e are able to escape
Transppiration
The exhalation of water vapor through the stomata
calorie
Amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of water 1C
kilocalorie
Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1C
joule
Unit of E = 0.239 cal;
1 cal = 4.184
