Water Flashcards
what is the relationship between water and hydrogen bonding
water forms chains of hydrogen bonds. Makes water stick to its self and other things
what is Temperature
measurement of kinetic energy in body of water
what is thermal energy
the energy connected to the movement of atoms and molecules
what is heat
thermal energy transfer
why ice floats in water
liquid water is more dense than ice
what are Hydrophilic bonds
(water loving )Dissolves polar substance. shares electrons so no capacity for hydrogen bonding
what are Hydrophobic bonds
repels water
what is a mole
chemical unit
what is ph
measures of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions
a buffer
can stabilize solutions from changes in ph
what is ocean acidification
water absorbs carbon dioxide and created carbonic acid. carbonic acid “steals” carbonate from the marine life
