Study Notes
Hydrogen Bonding and Water Properties
- Hydrogen bonding is responsible for water's unique properties, including its ability to absorb and release heat without significant temperature changes.
- Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that occurs between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) and another electronegative atom.
Factors Contributing to Hydrogen Bonding in Water
- Highly polar O-H bonds
- Bent molecular geometry, resulting in a permanent dipole or dipole moment
- Oxygen atom lone pairs
Formation of a Hydration Shell
- Three mechanisms:
- Ion-Dipole Interactions: between polar water molecules and ionic solutes
- Dipole-Dipole Interactions: between polar water molecules and polar solutes
- Hydrophobic Interactions: between nonpolar solute molecules and water molecules
Cohesion and Adhesion in Plants
- Cohesion: attraction between molecules of the same substance (water), responsible for high surface tension
- Adhesion: attraction between molecules of different substances (water and plant cell walls)
- Capillarity (capillary action) allows water to move upward against gravity through plant vascular tissues
The Role of Hydrogen Bonding in Solute Dissolution
- Formation of a hydration shell around solute particles, facilitating dissolution
- Hydrogen bonding between solvent and solute molecules helps to stabilize solute particles in the solvent
Unique Properties of Water
- Water's polarity allows it to form hydrogen bonds with itself and other molecules
- Expansion of water as it freezes, resulting in a lattice structure and lower density than liquid water
- Unique behavior of water at 4°C, where density increases as water cools further, and then decreases as it heats up or cools down further
