water Flashcards
water constitution in human body
65%
water constitution in plants
95%
existence of h bonding in water is responsible for
high freezing point
high boiling point
high latent heat of fusion
high latent heat of vaporisation
latent heat of vaporisation order
H2O H2S H2Se H2Te
H2S < H2Se < H2Te < H2O
due h bonding
H2O bond angle in gas phase
104.5 degree
O-H bond length in gas phase H2O
95.7 pm
ice structure
open cage like structure
extensive h bonding
each O atom attached to 4H, two by covalent bond, two by H bond
density compare
ice/water
water > ice
density of water is max at
4’C
two effects balancing each other that make density of water max at 4’C
thermal expansion and
breaking of hydrogen bonds
water nature
(acidic/basic/amphoteric)
amphoteric
auto-protolysis
self-ionisation
of water
H2O(l) + H2O(l) <–> H3O+ + OH-
water act as
(oxidising/reducing agent)
both
water dielectric constant
78.4
water is an excellent solvent
P4O10 + 6H2O –>
4H3PO4
SiCl4 + 2H2O –>
SiO2 + 4HCl
SO3 + H2O –>
H2SO4
CaC2 + 2H2O –>
Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
CaH2 + 2H2O –>
Ca(OH)2 + 2H2
AlN + 3H2O –>
Al(OH)3 + NH3
Ca3P2 + 6H2O –>
3Ca(OH)2 + 2PH3
types of hydrates
- water molecules coordinated to metal ion
- water molecule occupies interstitial sites in crystal lattice
- water molecules are h bonded to certain oxygen containing anion
water molecules coordinated to metal ion
example
[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3
[Fe(H2O)6]Cl3
water molecule occupies interstitial sites in crystal lattice
example
BaCl2.2H2O
