Water Chemistry
All living organisms are dependent on water.
The structure of water is the basis for its
unique properties.
The most important property of water is the
ability to form hydrogen bonds.
2
Hydrogen bonding
3
Water Chemistry
Within a water molecule, the bonds between
oxygen and hydrogen are highly polar.
Partial electrical charges develop:
- oxygen is partially negative
- hydrogen is partially positive
4
Water Chemistry
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions
between the partially negative oxygen of
one water molecule and the partially
positive hydrogen of a different water
molecule.
Hydrogen bonds can form between water
molecules or between water and another
charged molecule.

Water Chemistry
7
Water Chemistry
The polarity of water causes it to be cohesive
and adhesive.
cohesion: water molecules stick to other water
molecules by hydrogen bonding
adhesion: water molecules stick to other polar
molecules by hydrogen bonding

Properties of Water
1. Water has a high specific heat.
- A large amount of energy is required to
change the temperature of water.
2. Water has a high heat of vaporization.
- The evaporation of water from a surface
causes cooling of that surface.
11
Properties of Water
3. Solid water is less dense than liquid water.
- Bodies of water freeze from the top down.
4. Water is a good solvent.
- Water dissolves polar molecules and ions.

Properties of Water
5. Water organizes nonpolar molecules.
- hydrophilic: “water-loving”
-hydrophobic: “water-fearing”
- Water causes hydrophobic molecules to
aggregate or assume specific shapes.
6. Water can form ions.
H2O  OH-1 + H+1
hydroxide ion hydrogen ion

Ice, water, vapor

Hydrogen bonding
(electric attraction)
Ice Liquid
16
“Dissociation” of water
17
pH
pH = – log [H+]
Log scale means 10X
change per unit!
[H+]= 10-1M
[H+]= 10-9 M
18
Buffers
•Buffers resist changes to the pH of a
solution when H+ or OH- is added to the
solution.
•Buffers accept hydrogen ions from the
solution when they are in excess and donate
hydrogen ions when they have been
depleted.
19
Overall lessons:
• Many properties of water are emergent properties due to hydrogen
bonding.
• The cohesion of water molecules to each other is exploited by plants
and animals.
• Water resists temperature changes by absorbing lots of heat.
• Lower density of ice causes it to float & insulate the water below.
• The polarity of water allows it to dissolve other polar molecules.
• Non-polar compounds are hydrophobic and not easily dissolved in
water.
• A mole of a compound has a constant # of molecules.
• Adding or removing hydrogen ions changes the pH of a solution.
• Buffers resist pH changes by accepting or donating H ions when
[H+] changes.

[OH-]
cola
