What is the structure of water?

H-O-H

bent
two O-H bonds (covalent, shared electrons)
-> electrons not shared equally, more time spent around oxygen atoms

What is electronegativity (EN)?

how attractive an atom is to electrons (ex. O is more electronegative than H)

Perfectly

Properties of electronegativity

atoms further right on PT have stronger electron pull
going down the PT has less electron pull
(exception: noble gases don’t want more electrons or to have to give them up - all substances want to be like noble gases)

Electronegativity Scale

H: 2.1
F: 4
Cl: 3
go left and drop .5 each atom from F
go right from Na and add .3, right from P add .4

Water’s O-H bonds

O: 3.5, H: 2.1
more electrons around O –> O has partial negative charge, H has partial positive charge (polar covalent bond: opposite partial charge at either end of molecule)

What are hydrogen bonds?

attraction between two different molecules

weak bonds: covalent are 10 times stronger
result of bonds: H2O sticks together
-> liquid, high boiling/melting temp, etc because H-bonds take energy to break

What molecules create hydrogen bonds?

N-H
O-H
H-F (only hydrofluoric acid)

Why does water expand when freezing?

hydrogen bonds: freeze–>crystal structure
atoms can’t get close due to bonds
-> result: ice, less dense than water

What is density?

measurement of how much matter is in a certain volume

mass per unit volume (kg/m^3, g/L, g/cm^3)
-> water: 1 g/cm^3, ice: .92 g/cm^3 (however, solid is usually denser)

Division of Earth’s water

fresh water = 2.6% (.01% ground/surface water, 2.59% glaciers/ice caps)
salt water = 97.4%

surface water: oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers (often contaminated)
ground water: wells, rural (contaminant-free, ground filters water)

What is an aquifer?

water trapped in sand/gravel

if this gets contaminated = very bad
depleting quickly because farmers are taking too much
-> we use 48 in/yr, replenished by rainfall by 2 in/yr

solvent + solute

What are ions?

Study These Flashcards

charged particles

What is concentration?

Study These Flashcards

the amount of solute per volume of solvent

“[…..]”: “concentration of”

How do you measure concentration?

1. percent by mass 2. parts per million (grams/million grams, mg/L) 3. parts per billion (grams/billion grams, micrograms/L)

What is molarity? How do you find it?

moles per liter 1. convert g to mol 2. convert volume to L 3. divide mol by L

What are electrolytes?

substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water Ex. -pure distilled water (non-conducting) -sugar dissolved in water (non-conducting --> non-electrolyte) -NaCl dissolved in water (conducting --> electrolyte)

Conductivity is due to ____ in a solution

ions - more ions = better conduction - electrolyte = ionized

What is an ionic compound made of?

cations and anions

What are polyatomic ions?

where an ion has a different number of protons or electrons because they are filling and octet *know name, formula, and charge for test (CHEAT SHEET)

What are ionic bonds?

bonds that hold ionic compounds together | -opposite charges attract (cations and anions)

How can you tell is something is an ionic compound?

cation: metal or ammonium (NH4+) anion: nonmetals and polyatomic anions 1. metal + nonmetal 2. metal + polyatomic ion 3. ammonium + nonmetal 4. ammonium + polyatomic ion

How to name ionic compounds

1. name cation as element 2. name anion, add "ide" to element name 3. name the polyatomic ion of it applies (don't mess with ending)

Periodic Table charges

metals: 1A: +1, 2A: +2, 3A: +3, 4A: +4 nonmetals: 4A: -4, 5A: -3, 6A: -2, 7A: -1 Know these: Ag: +1, Cd: +2, Zn: +2

What is formula for Sodium Chloride?

NaCl

What is formula for Magnesium Bromide?

MgBr2

What is the formula for Calcium Oxide?

CaO

What is the name for BaCl2?

Barium chloride

What is the name for K2O?

potassium oxide

What is the name for Mg(OH)2?

magnesium hydroxide

What is the name for KNO3?

potassium nitrate

How do you label for charges?

roman numerals

what is the name of FeCl2?

2 Cl = -2, so Fe = +2 | iron (II) chloride

what is the name of FeCl3?

3 Cl = -3, so Fe = +3 | iron (III) chloride

what is the name of Cr2S3?

``` 3 S (-2) = -6, so 2 Cr = +6 chromium (III) sulfide ```

what is the symbolic name of Manganese (IV) oxide?

Mn = +4, O = -2 | Mn2O4

Dissolving sodium chloride in water

- partial charges in H20 will still be attracted to full formal charges of other molecules - created energy through hydrogen bonds makes up for the bonds are broken in NaCl

What are insoluble ionics?

ion attraction that is too great for H2O to break therefore won't dissolve (much)

What are solvable covalents?

ex. sugar, ethanol (covalent compounds, soluble, non-electrolytes) - have O-H groups (hydroxyl), hydrogen bond with water

Consumption of pollutants

polar: go into bloodstream (polar environment) are are filtered through kidneys non-polar: go to fat cells (non-polar environment) and will build up because they are not filtered out --> less of these

What are some mineral concerns of water?

Ca: nutrient that makes water hard Nitrates: agricultural runoff, cause "blue baby" syndrome (soluble, hard to get out of water) Lead, Chlorine: toxic Na: cause high blood pressure

How to make potable water?

1. Screen: large objects 2. Al(OH)3: sticks to dirt/clay (insoluble) 3. Chlorination: kill bacteria/virus, bad taste/smell, toxic by-products (Cl is toxic but not on a drastic level)

What is distillation?

liquid solution is heated, vapors are condensed and collected (expensive because you have to use solar panels to heat water)

What is desalinization?

a process that removes ions from salt water

What is osmosis?

water goes through a semipermeable membrane (wall with holes that only H2O molecules can pass through) from a solution that is LESS concentrated to a solution that is MORE concentrated

What is reverse osmosis?

forcing water through a semipermeable membrane from a solution that is MORE concentrated to a solution that is LESS concentrated (expensive because you must use high pressure pump to do this)
