Chemistry of Life: Bonding and Properties of Water Chemistry of Life: Bonding and Properties of Water Instructor Answer Key Observations Activity 1: Solubility Expected results provided. At room temperature, sodium chloride and sucrose are highly soluble in water but only slightly soluble in isopropanol. Benzoic acid is soluble in isopropanol but not in water. 1. What can you conclude about the polar nature of benzoic acid in Activity 1? Most of the benzoic acid molecule (specifically the benzene ring) is nonpolar and therefore hydrophobic. This hydrophobicity prevents it from dissolving in water at room temperature. 2. What type of mixture is benzoic acid and water? What type of mixture is sucrose and isopropanol? Explain your answers. Both are suspensions, because the components of each mixture spontaneously separate from one another. Activity 2: Adhesion and Cohesion Expected results provided. The surface tension of the water is high due to hydrogen bonding. The bits of pepper are small enough to be suspended on the surface of the water. However, the surface tension of isopropanol is much lower than that of water, allowing the pepper to sink to the bottom of the well. When the wood splint is gently pushed into the pepper and water mixture, the pepper prevents the water from contacting the splint. The high surface tension of the water allows the pepper to rest on the surface of the water. The pepper has no attraction to the water molecules and is, therefore, hydrophobic. It forms a water-resistant shield around the wood splint, keeping it dry while initially 1 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company submerged and creating a small “pocket” in the water. The adhesion of pepper to water is stronger than that of pepper to the splint. Therefore, when the splint is lifted out of the well, it is clean. When the splint is inserted all the way into the water in the well, it penetrates the pepper layer and the wood comes in contact with the water. Upon lifting the splint out of the water, the wood pulls up both pepper and water. Adhesion occurs between water and wood, as well as between water and pepper. When soap is added to the splint, it disrupts the hydrogen bonds of the water, reducing the surface tension. When the soap contacts the water, it does not immediately dissolve. Instead, the soap quickly spreads out over the surface of the water, pushing the pepper to the edges of the well. 1. What type of mixture is pepper and water? Explain your answer. It is a suspension, because the pepper and water spontaneously separate from one another. Activity 3: Density and Miscibility Expected results provided. The water and isopropanol will form two distinct layers. Some of the pepper will sink to the bottom of the well, but most will be found at the surface of the water layer. 1. Explain the layers that formed from the two liquids in Activity 3. Water is denser than isopropanol. When added slowly, the difference in density allows the two liquids to remain separate as two distinct layers. When pepper is added to the well, some of it sinks to the bottom. However, most of the pepper moves through the isopropanol layer and remains suspended at the surface of the water layer. 2 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company Activity 4: Heat Capacity Expected results provided. As long as the paper comprising the cup is in contact with water, the water absorbs the heat and prevents the paper from burning. When the flame is directed at the part of the cup that does not touch water, the paper catches on fire. The paper will burn down to the water level. 3 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company Chemistry of Life: Bonding and Properties of Water 1. 580104 01 REMEMBERING Which of these bonds is formed due to the opposite charges of cations and anions being attracted to each other? A. covalent B. hydrogen C. oxygen *D. ionic E. nonpolar General Feedback: In ionic bonds, the opposite charges of cations and anions are attracted to each other. 2. 580104 02 REMEMBERING Which of these refers to the relative ability of an atom to attract electrons? A. solubility B. saturation *C. electronegativity D. adhesion E. cohesion General Feedback: Electronegativity refers to the relative ability of an atom to attract electrons. 3. 580104 03 REMEMBERING Which type of bond will form when two nonmetal atoms share one pair of electrons? *A. covalent B. ionic C. colloid D. cationic 4 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company E. anionic General Feedback: Covalent bonds form when two nonmetal atoms share electrons. 4. 580104 04 REMEMBERING Which of these is the part of a solution that dissolves in the solvent? A. polar substance B. nonpolar substance *C. solute D. aqueous solution E. immiscible substance General Feedback: The part of a solution that is dissolved in the solvent is called the solute. 5. 580104 05 UNDERSTANDING What property of the vegetable oil in salad dressing requires you to shake the dressing to mix up the oil, water, and vinegar before pouring it onto a salad? A. surface tension B. cohesion C. adhesion D. hydrophilic *E. hydrophobic General Feedback: Vegetable oil separates from the water and vinegar to form its own layer in salad dressing. This is because it is hydrophobic, or "water fearing." 6. 580104 06 REMEMBERING What property allows a large body of water, such as a lake, to maintain relatively constant temperature throughout a 24-hour period, even though the ambient temperature may drastically rise and fall throughout the daytime and nighttime hours? A. saturation 5 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company B. low surface tension C. hydrophilic D. adhesion *E. specific heat capacity General Feedback: Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy that is requried to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. Water's specific heat is very high, so it requires a relatively large amount of energy to change the temperature of the water compared to other substances. 7. 580104 07 UNDERSTANDING Which of these terms describes why a dog has to shake so hard in order to dry its fur? *A. adhesion B. cohesion C. surface tension D. polarity E. hydrophilic General Feedback: Adhesion is the attraction of water molecules with other different molecules. When water clings to a dog's fur while the dog shakes extremely hard, this illustrates the attractive nature of adhesion. 8. 580104 08 REMEMBERING What does it mean for a substance to be immiscible? A. It is completely soluble with another substance. *B. It is insoluble with another substance. C. It is an adhesive substance. D. It is a cohesive substance. E. Hydrogen bonds form between the substance and water molecules. General Feedback: A substance is immiscible if it is insoluble with another substance. 9. 580104 09 REMEMBERING 6 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company When fine clay is mixed in water and left to stand, the clay will settle to the bottom of the container. Which term best describes this mixture? *A. suspension B. colloid C. aqueous solution D. saturated solution E. emulsion General Feedback: Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures that spontaneously separate into their individual components. 10. 580104 10 REMEMBERING Which property of water allows a water strider to run across the surface of standing water? A. polarity B. adhesion C. low solubility *D. high surface tension E. nonpolarity General Feedback: Water is resistant to objects passing through the surface and thus is said to have a high surface tension. 11. 580104 11 REMEMBERING Smoke and gelatin are examples of what type of mixture? A. suspension *B. colloid C. Solutions D. Cations E. Anions 12. 580104 12 UNDERSTANDING 7 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company Which of these statements is NOT true of water? A. Water has the property of cohesion. B. Water has the property of adhesion. C. Adjacent water molecules form hydrogen bonds with one another. D. Water is the solvent in aqueous solutions. *E. Water has a low specific heat capacity. General Feedback: Water requires a lot of energy to raise the temperature of 1 g of it by 1 degree Celsius. This means water has a high specific heat capacity, not a low one. 13. 580104 13 APPLYING Explain the "like dissolves like" rule and give an example. Correct Answer: The "like dissolves like" rule generally follows the idea that polar substances (and ionic compounds) are more soluble in polar substances, and nonpolar substances are more polar in nonpolar substances. An example of this is sodium chloride (an ionic compound) dissolving in water (a polar substance). 14. 580104 14 ANALYZING Explain how rain falling from the sky can be an example of both adhesion and cohesion. Correct Answer: Rain falling from the sky exemplifies cohesion because adjacent water molecules are attracted to one another via hydrogen bonding due to the opposite charges at each pole of a water molecule. Rain can also exemplify adhesion since particulate matter in the air can trigger condensation. 15. 580104 15 EVALUATING Water can dissolve many ionic and polar covalent compounds. Describe at least two ways in which this property of water has significant biological and environmental implications. 8 © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company Correct Answer: Possible answers include: 1) Water can carry nutrients to cells, and waste away from cells. 2) Water can dissolve harmful chemicals. For example, a river that flows near an industrial facility may carry pollutants for great distances. 16. 580104 16 UNDERSTANDING Is sodium chloride (NaCl) an ionic compound or covalent compound? What happens to the atoms in NaCl when the compound is dissolved in water? Correct Answer: NaCl is an ionic compound. It dissociates into the cation Na+ and the anion Cl- in aqueous solution.

If kept dry, it will remain a free-flowing solid for years. Traces of magnesium or calcium chloride in commercial sodium chloride adsorb moisture, making it cake. The trace moisture does not harm the material chemically in any way. 71378 BioUltra 71386 BioUltra for molecular biology, 5 M Solution The products are suitable for different applications like purification, precipitation, crystallisation and other applications which require tight control of elemental content. Trace elemental analyses have been performed for all qualities. The molecular biology quality is also tested for absence of nucleases. The Certificate of Analysis provides lot-specific results. Much of the sodium chloride is mined from salts deposited from evaporation of brine of ancient oceans, or recovered from sea water by solar evaporation. Due to the presence of trace hygroscopic minerals, food-grade salt has a small amount of silicate added to prevent caking; as a result, concentrated solutions of "table salt" are usually slightly cloudy in appearance. 71376 and 71386 do not contain any anti-caking agent. Applications: Sodium chloride is a commonly used chemical found in nature and in all body tissue, and is considered an essential nutrient.

  • Ordering Tendencies in Pd-Pt, Rh-Pt, and Ag-Au Alloys Z.W
    Section I: Basic and Applied Research Ordering Tendencies in Pd-Pt, Rh-Pt, and Ag-Au Alloys Z.W. Lu and B.M. Klein Department of Physics University of California Davis, CA 95616 and A. Zunger National Renewable Energy Laboratory Golden, CO 80401 (Submitted October 7, 1994; in revised form November 9, 1994) First-principles quantum-mechanical calculations indicate that the mixing enthalpies for Pd-Pt and Rh-Pt solid solutions are negative, in agreement with experiment. Calculations of the diffuse-scatter- ing intensity due to short-range order also exhibits ordering tendencies. Further, the directly calcu- lated enthalpies of formation of ordered intermetallic compounds are negative. These ordering tendencies are in direct conflict with a 1959 prediction of Raub that Pd-Pt and Rh-Pt will phase-sepa- rate below ~760 ~ (hence their mixing energy will be positive), a position that has been adopted by all binary alloy phase diagram compilations. The present authors predict that Pdl_xPtx will order in the Llz,Llo, and L12 structures ([001] superstructures)at compositionsx = 4' 2' and 4' respectively, I I while the ordered structures of Rhx_/Ptx are predicted to be superlattices stacked along the [012] di- rections. While the calculated ordering temperatures for these intermetallic compounds are too low to enable direct growth into the ordered phase, diffuse-scattering experiments at higher tempera- tures should reveal ordering rather than phase-separation characteristics (i.e., off-F peaks). The situation is very similar to the case of Ag-Au, where an ordering tendency is manifested both by a dif- fuse scattering intensity and by a negative enthalpy of mixing.
