Water's Interesting Properties
Essential for life -Unusually high boiling point and specific heat -Can be observed in all 3 phases (Solid, Liquid, Gas) -"Universal Solvent"
Electronegativity
Measure of the attraction of an atom for an electron in a chemical bond -This yields polar covalent bonds --Bond in which electrons are not equally shared between the two atoms ---Slight positive and negative charges
Many of water's unique properties can be attributed to ___________________.
hydrogen bonding and the role it plays.
Hydrogen Bonding
An intermolecular attraction which arises when a H molecule is bonded to a highly electronegative molecule (Usually Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Fluoride)
Hydrogen Bonding impact on properties
Hydrogen bonding in ice leads to a rigid hexagonal structure with holes in the middle --Water is locked into place with 4 hydrogen bonds ---Less dense than liquid water as a result
Hydrogen Bonding requires more energy to pull apart hydrogen bonds
Usually high boiling point compared to other comparable molecules
Blue Water
Amount of surface/ ground water used in production
Green Water
Amount/ Volume of rain water used in production
Grey Water
Amount/ Volume of fresh water that is polluted during production

Row 1-2 tends to lose electron Row 3-7 tend to gain electrons Row 8 is a full electron shell
Many ionic compounds are dissolved in the oceans
Example: NaCl (s) -----H2O----> Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) -Bond to oxygen in water because of the partial negative charge Example: Na2SO4 (s)----H2O----> 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) -bond to the hydrogen in water because of the partial positive charge
OH groups participate in hydrogen bonding an make molecules more polar. Polar dissolves polar and that suggests an important solubility rule:
"Like dissolves Like"
General Solubility Rule: "Like dissolves like"
If both molecules are polar, they dissolve better with each other If both molecules are non polar, they dissolve better with each other
OH groups participate in ________. So the more -OH groups in a molecule, the more _____it is.
Hydrogen Bonding Polar Example: Water
Two familiar polar covalent compounds:
Ethylene Glycol: main ingredient in antifreeze -Ethanol
Surfactants
Surfactants help polar and non polar compounds to mix, because they have both polar and non polar groups Example: Soap -The non polar tail is hydrophobic, which means that it prefers to be away from water. The polar head is hydrophilic, which means that it is attracted to water.
-The fatty acid anions (surfactants) in soaps have a long, non-polar tail, consisting of hydrocarbon chain, and a polar, anionic (negatively charged) head. --Non-polar grease molecules are taken into the non-polar center of the clump --Surfactants club together and stay suspended in wa…
When surfactants are added to water, they do no spread every through the water, instead they clump together, with the negative heads pointing outwards. The negative ends interact with polar water molecules and the whole clump stays suspended in water, forming an emulsion rather than a sol…
