The Biological Importance of Water for Living Organisms Water is made up of two elements‚ 2 positively charged hydrogen molecules and one negatively charged oxygen molecule. Water molecules have uneven charge distribution as one end of the molecule is slightly positive and the other slightly negative‚ this is called polar. Ionic substances such as sodium chloride dissolve easily in water because the positively and negatively charged ions are separated due to the dipole nature of water. As water

solution that has more free hydrogen ions (H + ) than hydroxyl ions (OH - ) and a pH less than 7. A base is a solution that has less free hydrogen ions (H + ) than hydroxyl ions (OH - ) and a pH of more than 7. In the late 1800s‚ the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius purposed that water can dissolve many compounds by separating them into their individual ions. Arrhenius suggested that acids are compounds that contain hydrogen and can dissolve in water to release hydrogen ions into solution. For example

Formation of hydrogen molecule (H2) Formation of Hydrogen. Atomic Number of H = 1 Electronic configuration of H = 1 Valence electron of H = 1 Hydrogen forms duet‚ to obtain stable configuration. This configuration is similar to helium (a noble gas). Since‚ hydrogen has one electron in its valence shell‚ so it requires one more electron to form a duet. So‚ in the formation of hydrogen molecule; one electron from each of the hydrogen atoms is shared. Formation of hydrogen chloride (HCl):

Carboxylic acids are compounds which contain a carboxyl group‚ -COOH group‚ where the -COOH group is attached either to a hydrogen atom or to an alkyl group. One of the example of carboxylic acid is benzoic acid( benzene carboxylic acid) which has a benzene connected to the carboxyl carboxyl group‚ -COOH group. It has a formula of C6H5COOH. The carbon atom of a carboxyl group has a high oxidation state. Therefore‚ that many of the chemical reactions used for their preparation are oxidations. In

Describe how hydrogen bonding occurs between water molecules‚ and relate this and other properties of water‚ to the roles of water in living organisms. Water is a very small molecule‚ consisting of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to an oxygen atom. However the electrons shared are not done so equally‚ oxygen is more electronegative and has a firmer hold on the electrons and pulls them slightly towards its nucleus. Due to this‚ the charge across the molecule of water is not equally distributed

Theory/Hypothesis: In this experiment the researcher and their team will be performing tests on a catalyst (proteins found in potato) to see what will happen when the catalyst in a Hydrogen Peroxide reaction is treated with an acid before the reaction occurs. The researcher hypothesizes that the after treating the

Remember that most bases do not dissolve in water. But if a base can dissolve in water‚ it is also called an alkali. Reactive metals Acids will react with reactive metals‚ such as magnesium and zinc‚ to make a salt and hydrogen: • acid + metal → salt + hydrogen The hydrogen causes bubbling during the reaction‚ and can be detected using a lighted

HF – hydrogen fluoride is a covalent bond and shares one pair of electrons. The hydrogen end of the molecule is slightly positive and the fluorine end is slightly negative. This causes hydrogen bonding between other hydrogen fluoride molecules. KCl – potassium chloride is a metal halide salt. The bonding between potassium and chloride is an ionic bond. The potassium becomes a cation and the chloride an anion. The potassium end of the molecule becomes slightly positive and the other end slightly
