  1. Water and the Chemistry of Life

  2. There is the same amount of water on Earth today as there was 3 billion years ago. Three percent of the water on Earth is freshwater and only 1 % is avaiIable for human consumption. Sixty-six percent of a human being is water. Seventy-five percent of the human brain is water. Seventy-five percent of a living tree is water. You could survive about a month without food, but only 5 to 7 days without water. Water Facts

  3. Water Facts Recall some of the water facts in slide one. • Jot these down. Turn to your partner and explain the importance of water in your life.

  4. The water molecule contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The Water Molecule

  5. Properties of Water

  6. Water is Polar Water is polar because oxygen is a “bully” and does not share the electrons.

  7. Water is Polar • Oxygen is negative with more electrons and Hydrogen is positive with less electrons.

  8. Water molecules attract each other because of Oxygen’s (-) charge and Hydrogen’s (+) charge. Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together. Water Forms Hydrogen Bonds

  9. Water Forms Hydrogen Bonds 2. Draw one water molecule and label the (+ H) and the (- O). Draw two more water molecules and show them connected together with hydrogen bonds

  10. Hydrogen bonds sank the Titanic. The reason ice floats is because of hydrogen bonding.    In other words, ice is less dense than liquid water and will float on the surface of the liquid.  Throw in one really big chunk of ice and a cruise ship, and you begin to see the problems that can arise.   Hydrogen Bonds and the Titanic

  11. Cohesion is the attraction of the same type of molecules to each other. Water molecules stick together and “hold hands” with hydrogen bonds Cohesion

  12. Cohesion explains “wetness”. Water molecules stick together and form drops. Cohesion explains why insects can walk on a lake’s surface. Cohesion

  13. Adhesion is the attraction of molecules between two different substances. Example: The attraction of water molecules to a glass. Adhesion

  14. Adhesion causes “this”. #3. Name the line and the equipment.) Adhesion causes water to rise in a straw Adhesion

  15. Adhesion or Cohesion?? • Your teacher will put a drop or two of water on your desk. #4. The water clinging to your desk is an example of ____________ #5 The water forming drops is an example of __________________

  16. #6 Water rising in plants from roots to leaves. #7 Animals walking on surface water tension. #8 Colored celery leaves. Adhesion or Cohesion??

  17. Water is polar and can dissolve both salts, sugars, and other molecules. Water is the Universal Solvent

  18. Water is the Universal Solvent #9 Why is water such a good solvent? #10 What could you do to dissolve a solute in water faster? OR how could you speed up the dissolving of sugar in water?

  19. A water molecule can split and form ions. H20 H+ + OH- An ion is a charged atom. (+ or -) Water Molecules Can Split

  20. Water Molecules Can Split #11 What is the charge of the (H )ion? #12 What is the charge of the (OH) ion?

  21. Acids form H+ ions in a water solution. Acid solutions have high concentrations of H+ ions and have a pH value less than 7 . Water and Acids

  22. Bases form OH- ions in a water solution. Basic solutions have high concentrations of OH- ions and have a pH value greater than 7 . Water and Bases

  23. Acids and Bases #13. Acids form _____ions #14. Bases form _____ions #15. Draw this number line and label acids, bases, and neutral. Write examples of acids and bases along your number line. 1 14

  24. The Water Cycle

  25. The Water Cycle • Earth's water is always in movement, and the water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Water can change states among liquid, vapor, and ice at various places in the water cycle, with these processes happening in the blink of an eye and over millions of years.

  26. The Water Cycle # 16 Write some of the stages in the water cycle. Turn to your partner and explain how water cycles from drop to drop.

  27. The Water Cycle • Although the balance of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time, individual water molecules can come and go in a hurry. The water in the apple you ate yesterday may have fallen as rain half-way around the world last year or could have been used 100 million years ago by Mama Dinosaur to give her baby a bath.

  28. Water is….. Its properties are…. Water is important because… I have questions/am confused about… HOMEWORK-Chapter 2.2 1. Complete the following four square analogy for water: 2. Write a summary about the properties of water using the following words: Polar Hydrogen bonds Cohesion Adhesion Solvent Surface Tension
