Lec 1a: Life in Water - Water Properties
• All life basically is aquatic– Life on Earth evolved in and is sustained by water– Terrestrial organisms maintain an internal aquatic
environment for their organs and tissues
1
• Determines human distribution and population sizes
• Water is both a renewable and a non-renewable resource
• Available fresh water is relatively scarce

Human Water Use Summary – Pressures on a Key Resource
• Only 1% of water in lakes, 0.01% in rivers– (as % of inland liquid water)
4
• U. S. water use ~2000 m3 / person /year –e.g. versus Israel ~500 m3 / person / year
• Much water use for industry and irrigation, not just home use (Fig 1.3)
• Surface water provides majority of water (Fig1.4)

Factors Affecting Human Need for Fresh Water
• Population pressure and growth– Now approximately 6.6 billion humans– Human population doubling every 50 years
5
• Development and Technology–New technologies in manufacturing and agriculture often result in increased per capita need for fresh water–Development often interferes with the water cycle (e.g., reduction of vegetation, paving, etc.)
• Pollution–Reduces amount of fresh water available for use

G. Good Solvent (for some things)Difference on land vs. water % of air as oxygen =21% Concentration =210 ml / L
What about in water? (at 15 degC and 1 atm)
Solubility of oxygen in water =34 ml / LSolubility of carbon dioxide in water =1019 ml / L ….Why the disparity?
So, volume of oxygen at equil. with air: = 34.1 ml/L * 21% = 7.16 ml / L (30x less than air!)
What is the effect of temperature on gas solubility? (in eq. with Atm)Water Temperature (deg C) ml / L

Relationships among Water Viscosity, Inertia, and Physical Parameters
• Hydrogen bonding becomes more important at smaller scales, altering both viscosity and inertia
• Viscosity is the resistance to change in form (internal friction)
• Inertia is the resistance of a body to a change in its state of motion
• Reynolds number incorporates both 17

Reynolds Number (Re)• Inertia Fi = SU2 • Viscosity Fv = µSU/L (decreases w/ temp)
• Re = Fi/Fv = U L / µ
µ = dynamic viscosity = density U = velocity S = surface area L = length

of size and density of the sphere and viscosity and density of water

Water Chemical and Physical Properties Summary
• Hydrogen bonding• High density, surface tension, heat of
vaporization, heat capacity, liquid at earth’s surface, excellent solvent (important for weathering)
• Ions more soluble in warmer water, gasses less• Unusual relationship between temperature and
density• Influence of water physical properties on
