Water and dissolution Flashcards
What is the formula for water?
H2O= 2H^+ + O^2-
What is gaseous state of water?
steam
What is waters liquid phase?
water
What is waters solid phase?
ice
What do water molecules act like?
charged particles
What is dissolution?
process where a solute in gaseous, liquid, or solid phase dissolves in a solvent to form a solution
What type of bond is water?
covalent bond
What is the electron distribution of oxygen like?
6 in outer shell two bottom sites are full top is where interaction can take place
What side of the water molecule will be positive and which side is negative?
positive charge around where hydrogen is bonded (cations)
How will water molecules arrange themselves based on charge in certain areas of atom?
Positive side will be close to negative side
What type of bond will form between water molecules?
hydrogen bond (between hydrogen and oxygen of different molecules)
How much weaker are hydrogen binds than covalent?
50%
What do hydrogen bonds do to water?
don’t hold them together as solid but keep them closely packed to remain in liquid form
What happens when we freeze water?
space out the molecules allows all bonds to be fulfilled making it expand and be less dense
What is the structure of ice like?
symmetrical hexagonal structure
