Water Flashcards
Describe the shape of water
V-shaped 2 h and 1o connected with polar covalent bonds
Oxygen is more electronegative so the e of covalent bond spend more time there
V-shaped makesit polar molecule with oxygen slightly neg and hydrogen slightly POS
How are water muleules held together
Hydrogen bonds, accounts for the properties of water
Emergent property
A characteristic only when apart of larger group
What are 4 emergent properties of h20?
Cohensionlddhesion/surface tension
High specific Heat
Frozen water
Universal solvent
Explain cohesion and adhesion
Cohesion = b/n H 20 molecules
Adhesion = H 20 and other
Plants transport h20frm roots to leaves usury xylem via capillary action: cohesion and adhesion to xylem cell walls
Explain surface tension in relation to emergent
High be of h-bonds water coheres to itself
High specific Heat
Most energy needed to break H-bonds than any other intermolecular bond
Refers to amount of heat absorbed/lost for one g change
How might high specific heat be helpful?
Bodies of H2O can regulate temp without changing water tump too much
Heat Bank
Temp us Heat
Temp: measure of kinetic enemy
Heat: kinetic energy
What is evaporation how does it relate to evaporate cooling
It molecules more fast enough they can break attraction and break off
Evaporative cooling; stabilize temp the hottest leave
Universal solvent
Great at breaking ionic bonds since attraction is nice it will form hydration shell
