(A) Molecules collide with varied angles and speeds and (B) Hydrogen bonds are relatively weak.

Which statement helps to explain why ice is less dense than liquid water?

(A) Water molecules make hydrogen bonds at definite angles and (B) Cold molecules move less than warm molecules.

Polar attractions are _____

(A) forces between atoms with partial charges, (B) weaker than covalent bonds, and (C) important because they are numerous.

Dissolving is best described as _____

A mingling of molecules and/or ions

Which of the following helps most to explain why water has a high specific heat?

A water molecule can make 4 hydrogen bonds

A pH of 6 is how many times more acidic than a pH of 9?

1,000

In the molecule below, how many atoms could make hydrogen bonds with water?

10

A solution with a pH of 2 has how many more protons in it than a solution with a pH of 4?

100 times more

What is the pH of an aqueous solution with the hydronium ion concentration [H3O+] = 2 x 10-14 M ?

13.7

Rank the following from most acidic to least acidic. Rank these items from most acidic to least acidic. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

2, 3, 5, 6, 14

How many atoms in the pictured molecule can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules?

5

Carbonated cola is more acidic than coffee or even orange juice because cola contains phosphoric acid. What is the molar concentration of [H3O+] in a cola that has a pH of 3.120?

7.59 * 10-4 M Instructions: [H3O+]=10−pH[H3O+]=10−pH [H3O+]=10−3.120[H3O+]=10−3.120 [H3O+]=7.59×10−4M[H3O+]=7.59×10−4M

What is a buffer?

A buffer resists change in pH by accepting hydrogen ions when acids are added to the solution and donating hydrogen ions when bases are added.

The partial negative charge at one end of a water molecule is attracted to the partial positive charge of another water molecule. What is this attraction called?

A hydrogen bond

Which of the following can be attributed to water's high specific heat?

A lake heats up more slowly than the air around it

Why doesn't oil mix with water?

Polar molecules attract one another.

Why does ice float in liquid water?

Stable hydrogen bonds keep water molecules of ice farther apart than water molecules of liquid water.

Rank, from low to high, the pH of blood, stomach acid, and urine.

Stomach acid, urine, blood

The table shown here lists the specific heat of several substances: Substance Specific heat J/g/∘C Water 4.18 Ethyl alcohol 2.44 Benzene 1.80 Sulfuric acid 1.40 Based on the information in the table, which of the following statements are true?

Sulfuric acid is less resistant to temperature change than water. Benzene is more resistant to temperature change than sulfuric acid. More heat is required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water 1 ∘C than to raise the temperature of 1 g of ethyl alcohol 1 ∘C. Water has a high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

Why didn't the insect drown?

Surface tension

A buffer consists of undissociated acid (HA) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (A-). How does this system buffer a solution against decreases in pH?

A- reacts with H+ to become HA.

Buffers work best when ____

About half of the buffer molecules are dissociated.

Which answer helps to explain why all living cells need pH buffers?

Amino acid side chains have many carboxyl and amino groups.

The open spaces in water's crystal structure make it possible for ____

Aquatic life to exist at the North Pole

Cohesion, surface tension, and adhesion are the properties of water molecules that ________.

Are a result of hydrogen bonding

Hydrogen bonds ____

Can form between H and N

Water molecules can form hydrogen bonds with _____.

Compounds that have polar covalent bonds

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons toward itself is referred to as its _____.

Electronegativity

A water molecule can bond to up to _____ other water molecules by ____ bonds.

Four, hydrogen

To make a buffer, you need to ___

Have a weak acid or a weak base half ionized in water.

Which bond is the weakest?

Hydrogen (dotted line)

Water molecules have a polarity, which allows them to be electrically attracted to other water molecules and other polar molecules by weak chemical bonds known as _____.

Hydrogen Bonds

What is the arrow pointing to?

What is the arrow pointing to?

Hydroxide Ion

An acid is a substance that _____.

Increases the hydrogen ion concentration of an aqueous solution

which statement is true of waters tensile strength?

It results from hydrogen bonding, it helps to pull water through plants, it involves both cohesion and adhesion.

Though you add heat, the temperature of boiling water remains constant because _____

It takes energy to break hydrogen bonds

How does the way a buffer stabilizes pH during addition of acid differ from the way the same buffer stabilizes pH during addition of base?

It's the same reaction running backward or forward.

Hydrophobic substances such as vegetable oil are _____.

Nonpolar substances that repel water molecules

The unequal sharing of electrons within a water molecule makes the water molecule _____.

Polar

In this molecule, what type of bond is found between the oxygen and hydrogens?

Polar covalent

In a single molecule of water, two hydrogen atoms are bonded to a single oxygen atom by _____.

Polar covalent bonds

Which statement must be mentioned in explaining why amphipathic molecules line up at a water surface?

Polar groups attract one another
