Chapter Objectives:
The Properties of Water
With the use of a diagram or diagrams, explain why water
molecules are:
a.
polar
b.
capable of hydrogen bonding with four neighboring water molecules
2. List four
characteristics of water that are emergent properties resulting from hydrogen
bonding.
3. Define cohesion
and adhesion. Explain how water’s cohesion and adhesion contribute to the
movement of water from the roots to the leaves of a tree.
4. Distinguish
between heat and temperature, using examples to clarify your definitions.
5. Explain the
following observations by referring to the properties of water:
- Coastal
areas have milder climates than adjacent inland areas.
- Ocean
temperatures fluctuate much less than air temperatures on land.
- Insects
like water striders can walk on the surface of a pond without breaking the
surface. If you slightly overfill a water glass, the water will form a
convex surface bove the top of the glass.
- If you
place a paper towel so that it touches spilled water, the towel will draw
in the water.
- Ice
floats on water.
Humans sweat and dogs pant to cool themselves on hot days.
6.
Distinguish among a solute, a solvent, and a solution.
7.
Distinguish between hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances.
8. Explain
how you would make up a one molar (1M) solution of ethyl alcohol.
The Dissociation of Water Molecules
9. Name the
products of the dissociation of water and give their concentration in pure
water.
10. Define acid, base,
and pH.
11. Explain how acids
and bases may directly or indirectly alter the hydrogen ion concentration of a
solution.
12. Using the
bicarbonate buffer system as an example, explain how buffers work.
13. Briefly explain the
causes and effects of acid precipitation.
