Study Notes
Water and Its Properties
- Most compounds with similar molecular mass to water (e.g., methane) are gases at room temperature due to weak intermolecular forces.
- Water is a liquid at room temperature because its intermolecular forces are unusually strong, particularly hydrogen bonding.
- Methane has a central carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. The symmetrical arrangement makes methane non-polar. Intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces, which are weak.
- Hydrogen chloride (HCl) has a polar covalent bond due to chlorine's higher electronegativity than hydrogen. Intermolecular forces include London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces.
- Water molecules are highly polar due to the polarity of the H-O bonds and their asymmetrical arrangement. Hydrogen bonding occurs between hydrogen in one water molecule and oxygen in another.
- Hydrogen bonding is a significant type of intermolecular force giving water unique properties.
Significance of Hydrogen Bonding
- Hydrogen bonding contributes to many unique water properties vital for life on Earth.
- Water stays liquid at room temperature because of hydrogen bonding.
- Water has high melting and boiling points due to hydrogen bonding.
- Water's ability to absorb/release large amounts of thermal energy moderates temperature changes in organisms and the environment.
- Water's inability to mix with non-polar compounds allows organisms to retain water and store non-polar substances.
- Water expands when freezing, causing ice to float, which enables life to survive in bodies of water.
Solutions
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture with a uniform composition throughout (one phase).
- Solutions can be solids, liquids or gases.
- Solutions appear transparent because the entities they contain are too small to block light.
- Solutions can be coloured or colourless.
- A glucose solution (IV drip) is an example of a solution where glucose (solute) dissolves in water (solvent).
- Homogeneous mixtures are uniform throughout. Heterogeneous mixtures have distinct phases. (e.g., oil and vinegar)
Components of a Solution
- Concentration: the ratio of solute/solution or solvent.
- Concentrated solution: a solution with a relatively large quantity of solute.
- Dilute solution : a solution with a relatively small quantity of solute.
- Aqueous solutions: contain water as the solvent. (Most solutions in investigations are aqueous).
Aqueous Solutions
- They are transparent.
- Used in many common products (e.g., pop, vinegar, shampoo).
Decompression Sickness
- Scuba divers risk gas bubbles forming in their blood if ascending too quickly.
Water Contaminants
- Physical contaminants: debris and suspended particles.
- Biological contaminants: bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
- Chemical contaminants: water-soluble substances (e.g., heavy metals, organic solvents).
Water Quality Standards
- Health Canada sets guidelines for acceptable contaminant levels in drinking water.
- Provincial/territorial governments implement testing programs.
Water Treatment Process
- These processes involve removing contaminants.
- Steps include collection, treatment, disinfection, purification, and softening (reducing mineral content)
Chemical Analysis Types
- Qualitative analysis identifies substances.
- Quantitative analysis measures concentrations of substances (e.g., X-ray diffraction).
Precipitation Reactions
- Certain ions can be identified by the differences in solubility. (e.g., lead ions forming yellow PbI₂ precipitate).
Spectroscopy
- An advanced method used to analyze light emissions to determine qualitative/quantitative data.
Dilution
-
Dilution involves adding solvent to a concentrated solution to decrease its concentration.
-
The formula for dilution is c₁V₁ = c₂V₂ where c₁ and V₁ are the initial concentration and volume and c₂ and V₂ are the final concentration and volume of the solution.
Hydrogen Peroxide in Hair
- Used to lighten hair color through a process called "lifting."
- Higher concentrations can lift color faster but may cause more damage.
- Concentration expressions include V/V, W/V, and W/W.
