Water and pH

Review these terms, definitions and facts until you know them.

AB
cohesionproperty of water; 1 water molecule sticks to another
adhesionproperty of water; it is attracted to sides of containers
surface tensionthe force that causes the molecules on the surface of a liquid to be pushed together and form a layer
freezing point of water0 Celsius or 32 Farenheit; when compounds are dissolved in it decreases
boiling point of water100 Celsius or 212 Farenheit at sea level
icefloats; it is less dense than water
universal solventmany liquids, solids, and gases will dissolve in water
ionizationthe process of creating electrically charged particles
ionspositively or negatively charged atoms
condensationsteam changing to liquid;occurs when heat is released
evaporationliquid changing to gas; occurs when heat is absorbed
pure waterequal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, never truly exists
free waterwater that flows easily from a hydrate such as fruit
bound waterwater that is tied to the structure of large molecules
hydrateany chemical compound loosely bound to water
point source pollutioncontamination coming from a specific place such as a factory
nonpoint source pollutioncontaminants entering the water supply through runoff from multiple sources
runoffrainwater that does not enter the ground but flows over the ground and pavement directly into the water ways
indicatororganic dye that by color change shows the level of acidity in a solution
endpointthe equivalence point; point at which there is equal number of acid and base molecules
acida substance that creates a surplus of hydrogen or hydronium ions
basesubstance that creates a surplus of hydroxide ions
concentrationmeasure of parts of one substance to the known volume of another
molaritymeasure of solute concentration; expressed as moles per liter
pH scalerange used to express the degree of concentration of hydrogen or hydronium ions present in a solution
neutralizationpoint at which all ions have combined
bufferand agent that helps to stabilize pH by absorbing excess acids or bases
proton donor, electron acceptor, turns litmus red,tastes souracid
proton acceptor, electron donor, turns litmus blue, tastes bitter, feels slipperybase
responsible for water's many propertieshydrogen bonds
intermolecularbetween molecules
anthocyaninswater soluble pigments in some fruits and vegetables that produces a color change in the presence of acids and bases
