Biology Textbook- Chapter 3-Water and the Fitness of the Environment (pages 41-51)

POLAR-The opposite ends of the molecule have opposite charges
**attraction between polar molecules
**hydrogen bonding orders molecules into structural organization

Non-Polar-Substances that are hydrophobic/water fearing. They do not dissolve well and cannot bond. They share electrons perfectly, therefore have no difference in charge.
Ex: oil, gum, wax, sand, plastic.

Adhesion-Something’s ability to stick to other molecules

Cohesion- The ability of the molecules to bond to themselves. (hydrogen sticks to the oxygen)
Ex: penny test

Surface Tension-A measure of how difficult it is to break or stretch the surface of liquid. Water has a greater surface tension of most liquids

Vector-Transporter, “in transit” water is a vector for diseases

Cholera-parasite/deadly. Caused by a bacteria called Vibrio
(vomiting and diarrhea at the same time, majority of the people die in 7 days, rapid dehydration)

Hydrogen Bonds-Between molecules, NOT atoms, also the reason why water has a high/strong surface tension.

Heat of Vaporization-the quantity of heat a liquid must absorb for 1 g of it to be converted from the liquid to the gaseous state.

Evaporative Cooling- The faster molecules escape and become a gas and the slower/cooler molecules left behind, causing a cooling effect.

Specific Heat- A measurement of how well a substance resists changing its temp when absorbs or releases heat.

Heat-the measure of the total quantity of kinetic energy due to molecular motion in a body of matter.

Temperature- the measure of the intensity of heat due to the average kinetic energy of the

    After a significant number of studies, researchers came to an understanding that oxygen atoms in a water molecule apply a strong pull on the electrons being shared, more than each hydrogen atom. As a result, oxygen has a minimal amount of negative charge due to this unequal sharing of electrons. Similarly, hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge. Even though these atoms slightly have slight charges, water molecules are still neutrally charged. Consequently, water is said to be a polar molecule because of its positive and negative poles due to the unequal sharing of electrons.…

    The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an object exactly 1°C is the heat capacity of that object. The specific heat capacity of a substance is then the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance1°C. Caliometry is the precise measurement of the heat flow into or out of a system for chemical and physical processes. Heat flow is measured in two common units, the calorie and the Joule. 1 calorie= 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories. A calorimeter is the device used to measure the absorption or release of heat. In this lab, the water in aluminum can “calorimeter” gains the heat lost during the combustion of a Cheeto.…
