Study Notes
Water Properties
- Water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, which are arranged in a V-shape.
- Water molecules are polar because they have a slightly negative charge near the oxygen atom and a slightly positive charge near the hydrogen atoms.
- The charge of a water molecule is similar to a magnet.
- Water has a high heat capacity, meaning it requires a lot of energy to raise its temperature.
Water Experiments
- Setup 1
- Ice cubes float on water due to the density of water.
- Ice is less dense than water, which is why it floats.
- The property of water observed is density.
- Setup 2
- The colored water moved up the tissue paper.
- The tissue paper absorbed the water due to capillary action.
- The property of water observed is capillary action.
- Setup 3
- Water droplets stuck to the mirror's surface.
- Water sticks to surfaces due to adhesion.
- The property of water observed is adhesion.
- Setup 4
- The sugar dissolved into the water.
- Water’s ability to dissolve substances makes it a good solvent, which allows many substances to dissolve in it.
- The property of water observed is being a solvent.
- Setup 5
- The paper clip floated on water.
- Water’s surface tension allows it to support lightweight objects.
- The property of water observed is surface tension.
Water Essential to Life
- Water is essential to life due to its unique properties, allowing various life forms to thrive.
- Capillary action moves water up plant roots, transporting nutrients.
- Density allows aquatic life to survive in water, as ice floats, providing a layer of insulation.
- Adhesion enables water to stick to surfaces, such as blood vessels and small intestines, aiding in transport.
- Surface tension allows insects to walk on water, supporting small organisms.
- Solvent properties enable transport of nutrients and waste products for all living things.
