Cohesion and Adhesion

-Cohesion: when the molecules want to be together (they stick)


- i.e. surface tension


-Adhesion: water bondng to the glass being held together by hydrogen bonds. The glass is charged as well

Temperature vs. Heat

-Temperature: measures of the average kinetic energy of the molecules


-Heat: total kinetic energy of the molecules


Calorie

amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1 degree C

What causes water's high specific heat?

Hydrogen bonds

Water expands when it freezes

- Maximum density a 4 degree C.


- Below freezing hydrogen bonds resist breaking and lock water molecules in an expanded lattice-like bonding pattern


-Ice is less dense than water so it floats

1. Solution


2. Solvent


3. Solute


4. Aqueous solution

1. a liquid that is completely homogeneous mixture of substances.


2. the dissolving agent of the solution


3. the substance that is dissolved

Hydrophobic

- Ions and polar covalent molecules easily dissolve in water




- Nonpolar substances will not dissolve in water


-Hydrocarbons


- Fats and Oils

Hydrogen ion (H+)

- The hydrogen atom leaves its electron behind and is transferred as a proton

Hydroxide ion (OH-)

Molecule that has lost the proton

Hydroniumion (H3O+)

Molecule with the extra proton.


Often represented as (H+)

Acid

a substance that gives off hydrogen ions in a solution.


increases the [H+] concentration

Base

a substance which removes hydrogen ions from a solution thereby reducing the [H+] concentration

Buffers

substances that minimize changes in concentration of H+ and OH- in a solution
