Is a polar Molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom

Water

Properties of Water

1. Water is Polar


2. Water is an excellent solvent


3. Water has high heat capacity


4. Water has high heat of vaporization



5. Water has cohesive and Adhesive Properties



6. Water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid

It is the universal solvent

Water

Why is water essential?

1. It is the universal Lubricant


2. Water is cohesive


3. Water supports cellular structure


4. Water as a Lubricant and Cushion

Water allows everything inside cells to have the right shape at the Molecular level.

Water supports Cellular Structure

Water molecules have strog cohesive forces due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another

Water is Cohesive

Because water is polar, with slight positive and negative charges, ionic compounds and polar molecules can readily dissolve in it

It is the universal solvent

A substance or object that absorbs and dissipates heat but does not experience a corresponding increase in temperature.

Water as a heat sink

Water absorbs the heat generated by chemical reactions without greatly increasing in temperature

Water as a heat sink

For cells in the body to survive, they must be kept moist in a water based liquid called

Solutions

Like salts, disssociate in water into electrolytes

Acids and Bases

Can very much change the properties of the solutions in which they are dissolved

Acids and Bases

A substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) in solution

Acid

Are compounds that release all of their H+ in solution: that is, they ionize completely

Strong Acid

Do not ionize completely; that is, some of their hydrogen ions remain bonded within a compound in solution

Weak Acids

Example of Weak Acid

Vinegar, or Acetic Acid

Is a substance that release hydroxyl ions (OH-) in solution or one that accepts H+ already present in solution

Base

Release most or all of their hydroxyl ions

Strong Bases

Release only some hydroxyl ions or absorb only a few H+

Weak Bases

Is any substance that in water solution taste sour, changes blue litmus paper to red

Acid

Is a molecule or ion able to accept hydrogen ion

Base

Taste Sour

Acid

Do not feel slippery

Acid

Release hydrogen ions in aqueous solution

Acid

Corrodes metals

Acid

React with metals to produce a compound and hydrogen gas

Acids

Turns litmus paper red/pink

Acid

Taste bitter

Base

Feel slippery

Base

pH higher 7

Base

Releases hydroxide ion's in aqueos solution

Base

Do not corrode metals

Base

Do not react with metals to produce a compound And hydrogen gas

Base

Turns litmus paper blue

Base

pH lower than 7

Acid

This theory was limited to substances with those "parts"; ammonia is a major exception

Arrhenius Definition

Acid donates a hydrogen ion in water



Base donates hydroxide ion in water

Arrhenius Definition

Donates Hydrogen ion in water

Acid

Donate hydroxide ion in water

Base

Donates Proton in Water

Bronsted-Lowry Acid

Accepts proton in water

Bronsted-Lowry Base

Acid donates proton in water


Base accepts proton in water

Bronsted-Lowry Definition

This theory is better; it explains ammonia as a base!

Bronsted-Lowry Definition

This is the main theory that will be used in the doscussions

Bronsted-Lowry Definition

Accepts an electron pair

Acid

Donates an electron pair

Base

Acid accepts an electron pair


Base donates an electron pair

Lewis definition

This theory explains all traditional acids and bases plus a host of coordination compounds and is used widely in organic chemistry.

Lewis Definition

Uses coordinate covalent bonds.

Lewis Definition

The product that accepted Proton

Conjugate Acid

The product that Donated proton

Conjugate base

A species that has the potential to act both as an acid and s a base

Amphiprotic Character

Water is an ___________ substance that can act either as an acid or a base

Amphiprotic

The reaction of an acid and a base, which forms water and a salt

Neutralization

When acids and bases react they form _____ and ____

Water and Salt

Most ionic compounds can actually be considered ____

Salts

Are typically crystalline, ionic material

Salts

Is a chemical reaction where a compound breaks into two or more components

Dissociation

When NaCl is dissolved in water. It breaks up into Na+ and Cl- ion.

Ionization

Is the process by which atoms or molecules get positive or negative charge

Ionization

Formations of ion

Ionization

Occurs when an atom or a molecule gains or loses an electron

Ionization

Always formed ions in the end

Ionization

The breakdown of substance into smaller particles such as atoms, ions and molecules

Dissociation

Formation of small constitutes from larger compounds

Dissociation

Occurs with the addition of solvent and the addition of energy in the form of heat

Dissociation

Forms atoms, ions or molecules that are smaller than the starring material

Dissociation

Quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions

pH

Is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of acidic or basic components

Buffers

Is a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base

Buffer

Can neutralize small amounts of acids and bases in our body

Buffer
