Chemical OceanographyPhysical Chemistry ofSeawater (E&H Chap. 3)

Seawater is 96.5 % H2O Water unique substance & solvent Review structure Discuss selected unusual properties Consequences of water anomalies Phase diagrams

Hydrogen Bonding is key to anomalous properties of water

H-Bonding results from polarity

Water Properties

High Heat Capacity (Cp)

(Heat energy to raise 1 g of water 1 oC)

Prevents extreme ranges of temperature (temp buffering)

Allows heat transfer by water masses to be large

10

Water Properties

High Heat of Fusion(∆H = 79 cal/g)

(Heat energy for melting solid)

Absorption or release of latent heat results in high thermostatic effecta.k.a. Enthalpy of Fusion (kJ/kg)

11

Water Properties

High Heat of Vaporization(∆H = 540 cal/g)

(Heat energy for evaporating liquid)

Highest of all liquidsResults in evaporative cooling and transfer of

heat to atmosphere, thermostatinga.k.a. Enthalpy of Vaporization

12

Large Quantities of Heat are Absorbed & Released During Phase Changes

(Wiley 1999)

13

Water Properties

Thermal Expansion

(temperature of maximum density)

Waters with low or no salt content have maximum density above freezing points

Ice floats

15

Water Properties

High Dielectric Constant

(highest of almost all substances)

Results in charge insulating powerImportant in dissolution of saltsImportant in hydration of ions

16

Water Properties

Relatively High Viscosity

(high for low molecular weight substance)

Important in wave and current formation

17

Water Properties

High Surface Tension

(highest of all substances)

Controls drop formation, important in waves and many surface properties

Important in cell physiology

18

Interfacial Tensioncreates appearanceof a “skin” on surface

19

Water Properties

High Heat Conduction

(highest of all liquids)

Important for small scale heat transfer as in cells

20

Water Properties

High Transparency

(absorption of radiant energy high in IR and UV)

Water is colorlessImportant in photosynthetic and photochemical

processes

21

22

Water Properties

Low Electrolytic Dissociation

(neutral molecule containing some OH- and H+)

Autodissociation of water important in acid-base chemistry, many geological and biological processes

23

Water Properties

Low Compressibility

(similar to solids)

Little change in density as pressure increases with depth

“Water, water, every where,Nor any drop to drink.”

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Samuel Taylor ColeridgeCirca 1798

What happens whenwe add solutes to water?

33

Solutes (ParticularlyIons) are StructureBreakers

More accurately they form new structuresReorient some water moleculesCause new associationsModify propertiesAlter much of the Physical Chem. (Physicochemical Properties)
