Life depends on hydrogen bonds in water.
• Water is a polar molecule.– Polar molecules have slightly charged regions.
- Due to uneven pull of e-
– Nonpolar molecules do not have charged regions.– Hydrogen bonds form between slightly positive hydrogen atoms and slightly negative atoms.

2.2 Properties of Water
• Hydrogen bonds are responsible for three important properties of water.– High specific heat
– must absorb more heat to change temperature.– Regulates cell temperature
– Cohesion– Causes surface tension &
water beading– Adhesion
– Helps roots carry water
2.2 Properties of WaterMany compounds dissolve in water.
• A solution is formed when one substance dissolves in another.– A solution is a homogeneous mixture.– Solvents dissolve other substances.– Solutes dissolve in a solvent.
solution
2.2 Properties of Water
• “Like dissolves like.”
– Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes.– Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.– Polar substances and nonpolar substances generally
remain separate.
2.2 Properties of WaterSome compounds form acids or bases.
• An acid releases a hydrogen ion when it dissolves in water.– high H+ concentration– pH less than 7
more acidic
stomach acid pH between 1 and 3
2.2 Properties of Water
• A base removes hydrogen ions from a solution.
– low H+ concentration– pH greater than 7
bile pH between 8 and 9
more basic
2.2 Properties of Water
• Most organisms need to keep their pH in a narrow range.– Human blood pH=7.4– Bile pH=8-9– Stomach acid 1-3– Azalea plants need soil at 4.5– Large changes are deadly
