Basic Concepts

Additional Concepts

• Because water is so much a part of life, its properties are easy to take for granted.

Water: The Molecular View

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• If you step back a bit and examine water scientifically, you will find that it is unusual among the compounds found on Earth.

• Water is most often thought of as a liquid.

Topic 15Topic 15

• However, solid water, called ice, and gaseous water, called steam or water vapor, also exist in large quantities on Earth.

• The arrangement of electrons about the central oxygen in the water molecule relates to its three-dimensional geometry.

Geometry of the Water Molecule

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• There is a large electronegativity difference between the covalently bonded hydrogen and oxygen.

Topic 15Topic 15

• Therefore, the electron pair is shared unequally.

Geometry of the Water Molecule

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Because of the molecule’s bent structure, thepoles of positive and negative charge in the two bonds do not cancel, and the water molecule as a whole is polar.

• A group of water molecules will orient at the molecular scale because of electrical forces.

Attractions and Order

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• The opposites attract and create order among molecules.

Topic 15Topic 15

• This effect is especially great at low temperatures.

• Notice that the oxygen on one water molecule is attracted to the hydrogen atoms on other water molecules.

Modeling Water: Hydrogen Bonding

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• The connections between the molecules are not full covalent bonds, but they are still fairly strong.

Topic 15Topic 15

• The formation of such a connection between the hydrogen atoms on one molecule and a highly electronegative atom on another is called hydrogen bonding.

Modeling Water: Hydrogen Bonding

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• Atoms that are electronegative enough to cause hydrogen bonding include oxygen, fluorine, and nitrogen.

Topic 15Topic 15

• Notice that water molecules have both intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonds, dashed lines) and intramolecular forces (covalent bonds, solid lines).

Hydrogen Bonding Versus Covalent Bonding in Water

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

Hydrogen Bonding Versus Covalent Bonding in Water

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• The oxygens are highly electronegative and strongly attract hydrogen’s electrons.

• As a result, the hydrogen nucleus, a proton, is partially exposed.

• Oxygen-hydrogen groups in molecules tend to promote intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Water: The Hydrogen Bonding Champion

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• In pure water, each water molecule may form hydrogen bonds with four other water molecules.

Topic 15Topic 15

• Any molecule that contains O—H bonds has the potential to form hydrogen bonds.

Water: The Hydrogen Bonding Champion

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• Oxygen is sufficiently electronegative to attract hydrogen’s single electron strongly so that the hydrogen atom almost becomes an exposed proton.

Topic 15Topic 15

States of Water

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• The intermolecular hydrogen bonds hold the water molecules together strongly enough that they cannot readily escape into the gaseous state at ordinary temperatures.

• Water occurs primarily in the liquid and solidstates on Earth, rather than as a gas.

States of Water

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• That is why water has such a high boilingpoint for such a small molecule, 100°C.

• You know that if you drop an ice cube into a glass of water, the ice floats.

Ice Floats

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• You also know this means that the density of the solid water is less than that of liquid water.

Topic 15Topic 15

• As water cools from 60°C, its volume decreases and its density increases.

• The water molecules move less rapidly, and they are able to be drawn closer together by dipole-dipole attractions.

Ice Floats

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• The volume of the water decreases because the molecules pull together.

Topic 15Topic 15

• Meanwhile, the mass of water stays the same, so density increases.

• You can account for this if you know what is happening to the molecular arrangement.

Ice Floats

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic Concepts

• Below 4°C, the water molecules are beginning to approach the solid state, which is highly organized.

Topic 15Topic 15

Ice Floats

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• The water molecules begin to form the open arrangement.

• The arrangement results from hydrogen bonding and is the most stable structure for the molecules in or near the solid state.

Surface Tension

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Have you ever watched water drip from a faucet? Each drop is composed of an enormous number of water molecules— roughly 2 x 1021.

• The observation that this large number of molecules can hold together as a unit to form a single drop is more evidence for the presence of intermolecular forces.

Surface Tension

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• A water molecule forms a drop because of surface tension, which is the force needed to overcome intermolecular attractions and break through the surface of a liquid or spread the liquid out.

Surface Tension

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• The higher the surface tension of a liquid is, the more resistant the liquid is to having its surface broken.

• The net inward force makes the surface of the drop contract and seem to toughen, behaving like a sort of skin.

Capillarity

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• These examples of the rising of liquids in narrow tubes are illustrations of capillarity, or, as it is sometimes called, capillary action.

• Capillarity results from the competition between the interparticle attractive forces between the molecules of liquid and the attractive forces between the liquid and the tube that contains it.

Capillarity

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• In the case of a glass tube, water molecules can form hydrogen bonds to the oxygen atoms in the silicon dioxide that makes up the glass.

• This attractive force between the water and the SiO2 draws the water up the walls of the tube.

• Because the water molecules are also attracted to each other, more water rises upward.

Capillarity

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• If the tube is narrow, like the capillary tubes used in blood tests, the liquid will be drawn high into the tube because nearly all the molecules are close to the walls and are thus strongly attracted to them.

Specific Heat

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Specific heat measures the amount of heat, in joules, needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of substance by 1°C.

• This means that water must absorb or release more heat for its temperature to change by one Celsius degree than any of the other substances.

Specific Heat

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• The specific heat of water is 4.18J/g°C. (The unit is read “joules per gram per degree Celsius.”)

• In order to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C, you must add 4.18 J of heat.

• On the other hand, you must remove 4.18 J of heat from a 1-g sample of water to lower its temperature by 1°C.

Water Evaporation/Condensation

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Recall that vaporization is the change in state of liquid to gas, and that the amount of heat required to vaporize a quantity of a liquid is called the heat of vaporization.

• During the vaporization of a liquid, interparticle forces must be overcome.

Water Evaporation/Condensation

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Therefore, vaporization of a liquid is an endothermic (energy-absorbing) process.

• Condensation, the formation of a liquid from a gas, is an exothermic (energy-releasing) process.

Water Evaporation/Condensation

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Evaporation is vaporization from the surface of a liquid.

• Evaporation of water is one of the mechanisms by which your body regulates its temperature.

Water: The Super Solvent

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Most of the water on Earth is not pure, but rather is present in solutions.

• Water is difficult to keep pure because it is an excellent solvent for a variety of solutes.

Water: The Super Solvent

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Water is such a versatile solvent that it is sometimes called the universal solvent.

• Its ability to act as a solvent is one of its most important physical properties.

• As you will see, it is again the attraction of water molecules for other molecules, as well as for one another, that accounts for these solvent properties.

Water Dissolves Many Ionic Substances

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Salt, like a great many ionic compounds, is soluble in water.

• The salt solution is also an excellent conductor of electricity.

• This high level of electrical conductivity is always observed when ionic compounds dissolve to a significant extent in water.

A Model of the Dissolving of NaCl

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• You can represent the process of dissolving and dissociation in shorthand fashion by the following equation.

Water Dissolves Many Covalent Substances

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Water is not only good at dissolving ionic substances. It also is a good solvent for many covalent compounds.

• Consider the covalent substance sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, as an example.

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• You have probably observed that this substance, with the formula C12H22O11, dissolves in water. In fact, it is highly soluble.

• It’s possible to dissolve almost 200 g of sugar in 100 mL of water.

Water Dissolves Many Covalent Substances

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Take a look at the molecular structure of a sucrose molecule.

• Notice that the structure has a number of O—H bonds.

Water Dissolves Many Covalent Substances

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15 Water Dissolves Many Covalent

Substances

• As you learned earlier, if a molecule containsO—H bonds, it will tend to be polar and it can form hydrogen bonds.

Like Dissolves Like

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Although water dissolves an enormous variety of substances, both ionic and covalent, it does not dissolve everything.

• The phrase that scientists often use when predicting solubility is “like dissolves like.”

• The expression means that dissolving occurs when similarities exist between the solvent and the solute.

Concentrated Versus Dilute

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Chemists never apply the terms strong and weak to solution concentrations.

• As you’ll see in the next chapter, these terms are used in chemistry to describe the chemical behavior of acids and bases.

• Instead, use the terms concentrated and dilute.

Unsaturated Versus Saturated

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Another way of providing information about solution composition is to express how much solute is present relative to the maximum amount the solution could hold.

• If the amount of solute dissolved is less than the maximum that could be dissolved, the solution is called an unsaturated solution.

Unsaturated Versus Saturated

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Such a solution, which holds the maximum amount of solute per amount of the solution under the given conditions, is called a saturated solution.

Unsaturated Versus Saturated

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• An interesting third category of solution is called a supersaturated solution.

• Such solutions contain more solute than the usual maximum amount and are unstable.

• They cannot permanently hold the excess solute in solution and may release it suddenly.

Unsaturated Versus Saturated

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Supersaturated solutions, as you might imagine, have to be prepared carefully.

• Generally, this is done by dissolving a solute in the solution at an elevated temperature, at which solubility is higher than at room temperature, and then slowly cooling the solution.

Effect of Temperature on Solubility

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Temperature has a significant effect on solubility for most solutes.

• The solubilities of some solutes, such as sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate, increase dramatically with increasing temperature.

Effect of Temperature on Solubility

Solutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsSolutions: Basic ConceptsTopic 15Topic 15

• Other solutes, like NaCl and KCl, show only slight increases in solubility with increasing temperatures.

• A few solutes, like cerium(III) sulfate, Ce2(SO4)3, decrease in solubility as temperature increases.

Freezing-Point Depression

• A solution always has a lower freezing point than the corresponding pure solvent.

Topic 15Topic 15

• If you are interested only in aqueous solutions, this means that any aqueous solution will have a freezing point lower than 0°C.

Colloids

• Sometimes, mixtures are partway between true solutions and heterogeneous mixtures.

Topic 15Topic 15

• Such mixtures, called colloids, contain particles that are evenly distributed through a dispersing medium, and remain distributed over time rather than settling out.

• The major difference between a colloid and a solution is the size of the solute particles.
