Ion Concentrations The Acid-Base Chemistry of Water The chemistry of aqueous solutions is dominated by the equilibrium between neutral water molecules and the ions they form. 2 H O( l H O aq ) + OH aq Strict application of the rules for writing equilibrium constant expressions to this reaction produces the following result. This is a legitimate equilibrium constant expression, but it fails to take into account the enormous difference between the concentrations of neutral H O molecules and H O and OH ions at equilibrium. Measurements of the ability of water to conduct an electric current suggest that pure water at 25 o C contains 1.0 x 10 moles per liter of each of these ions. [H O ] = [OH ] = 1.0 x 10 M At the same temperature, the concentration of neutral H O molecules is 55.35 molar. The ratio of the concentration of the H (or OH ) ion to the concentration of the neutral H O molecules is therefore 1.8 x 10 In other words, only about 2 parts per billion (ppb) of the water molecules dissociate into ions at room temperature.

Extractions: A precipitate is a solid that separates from solution as the result of a chemical reaction. The chemical reaction that produces a precipitate is called a precipitation reaction. Precipitation reactions occur widely in nature. Many naturally occurring minerals are formed as the result of precipitation reactions. Precipitation reactions are also widely used in industry. Chemical precipitation used in water treatment is a good example. Water contains many impurities, including tiny suspended particles called colloids. Colloids are removed from water by a series of processes called coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. Coagulation occurs when chemicals added to the water form one or more precipitates. Flocculation is the process by which the colloidal impurities adhere to the precipitate. The resulting "floc" is allowed to settle to the bottom by sedimentation before removal. In a typical process, a coagulant such as alum (aluminum sulfate) is added to water undergoing treatment. Often alum alone will react with the water's natural alkalinity due to the presence of calcium hydrogen carbonate, or lime (calcium hydroxide) or soda ash (sodium carbonate) is added to boost the water's alkalinity.

http://www.asu.edu/news/research/chemistryofwater_022004.htm

Extractions: February 20, 2004 Water is simple, right? It is a simple, stable molecule - two hydrogen atoms strongly bonded to an oxygen atom. It is common in the universe, existing at a wide range of temperatures. As a liquid, it has interesting properties that allow it to dissolve many substances. It is basic to life, and it makes up most of your body. However, a vigorous argument about some fundamental physical properties of this ubiquitous substance has been raging for over half a century. Now, a new finding to be published in the February 19 issue of the journal Nature may settle the dispute. The article, by Y-Z Yue of Aalborg University in Denmark, and C.Austen Angell of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University, is entitled "Clarifying the glass-transition behavior of water by comparison with hyperquenched inorganic glasses." The authors argue that the currently accepted temperature at which water in the glassy state softens into a liquid ("glass transition"), is incorrect due to mistaking an "experimental artifact" for the glass transition itself. In fact, Yue and Angell argue that the amorphous solid form of water crystallizes before this softening ever happens.

Extractions: The Chemistry of Water Water is one of the most important chemicals on Earth. It covers approximately 80% of the Earth's surface. About two-thirds of our body weight is water. Without it, life wouldn't exist. We need to take in about 2 litres of water each day to stay healthy and can only survive for a few days without it. Since water is so vital in our lives, it is worth taking a look at some of its chemical properties. The molecular formula of water is H 0. The molecule contains two covalent bonds (shared pair of electrons) and two lone pairs. It is V-shaped. The two lone pairs of electrons, which repel the bond pairs and push them away, cause this shape. The bond angle (angle between the bond pairs) is 104.5º. Water has some unique properties. It is one the only substance to be found naturally in all three physical states: as solid (ice), liquid and as gas (steam). The density of ice is less than that of water, therefore ice floats on water. This is unusual since the solid forms of all other compounds are denser then the liquid and will sink. Water expands as it freezes while all other

Extractions: The Chemistry of Water Susan E. Kegley and Joy Andrews Instructor's Manual Student Manual The purity of our water supplies is a pressing problem and will become increasingly more so in the coming years. This laboratory module is designed as an introduction to factors affecting water quality and the methods used to assess water quality. The chemical concepts covered include acid-base chemistry, spectroscopy, principles of sampling and quality control, the electrochemical techniques of potentiometry and ion selective electrodes, ion chromatography, and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The module is constructed to be transferrable to a variety of institutions, providing multiple techniques for the analysis of individual water quality parameters. Some techniques require only a buret and a few chemicals, while others utilize sophisticated state-of-the-art instrumentation. In an undergraduate setting, the module is best carried out over three to five weeks, with the final week of the module used to introduce students to a spreadsheet and graphing program for data analysis. This module has been tested for seven semesters in a first semester general chemistry course at the University of California, Berkeley in special laboratory sections focusing on environmental chemistry, as well as in the 1000-student regular general chemistry laboratory. Student response to the module has been overwhelmingly positive, with many students commenting that the knowledge gained has had a significant impact on their awareness of issues related to water quality and their ability to analyze data scientifically (see

This is obviously a very subjective list, but at the clear risk of offending everyone, here we go: We are justifiably proud of our colleague, Ray Davis and his winning of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics. While work at Brookhaven has been associated with more than seven Nobel Prizes, this prize was the first won by a member of the BNL permanent staff. In addition, as chemists, we are pleased by the affirmation of the unity of science reflected by the awarding of the prize in physics to Ray, a chemist. Links: http://www.bnl.gov/chemistry/programs/neutrino.asp Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a widely used technique to probe brain function , whereas most other imaging methods reveal structure . PET images are developed by geometric reconstruction of the locations at which positrons are annihilated after being emitted from radioactive compounds metabolized in the brain. Therefore, radioactive compounds must be used that pass the blood-brain barrier, are used in the brain, and are nontoxic. The method used for the discovery and synthesis of these compounds grew out of "hot atom chemistry", a field nourished by the Atomic Energy Commission, the original federal funding agency supporting Brookhaven, and a discipline in which the Chemistry Department played an important role. The synthesis and use of

Ionizing radiation used for these investigations includes ultraviolet radiation, vacuum ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays, and energetic electrons from accelerators. While radiation chemistry is a unique field, there are significant similarities between radiation chemistry and photochemistry where absorption of lower-energy (non-ionizing) photons produces (mostly) neutral species. Aside from the intrinsic importance of basic research in radiation chemistry, applications include the understanding of the unique chemistry of high-radiation environments. In addition, radiation chemistry provides access to species in unusual oxidation states; molecules, radicals and ions that are otherwise difficult to produce in quantities sufficient for study, some of which are of biological importance. Ionization sources during this period included a 2-MeV Van de Graaff accelerator (first installed in the late 1940s and still in use today!), a 2-MeV Febetron accelerator for electron pulses of a ~25 ns duration, and

Extractions: Penn Cambria Senior High School, Cresson, PA 16630 Susan E. Kegley and Joy Andrews. University Science Books: Sausalito, CA, 1997. 167 pp. ISBN 093570244X. Paper, $22.00. The Chemistry of Water is a super book. It is more than a textbook, more than a lab manual. There is a great amount of good chemistry packed into its 160 pages. This module looks at the purity of water and methods to assess water quality. It gives instructions in proper sampling procedures, handling chemicals, water analyses, data analysis, and writing the report. Everything is there to take the student through each step from preparing the glassware for sampling to planning the final report. The multiple techniques presented are a gold mine. They range from simple wet chemistry to specialized instrumentation. The variety would allow the module to fit into almost any school's curriculum and availability of instrumentation. For example, total dissolved solids (TDS) can be determined gravimetrically or by using conductivity; dissolved oxygen (DO) can be analyzed using an oxygen-sensing electrode or by the Winkler titration; and three methods are provided to determine total alkalinity. Instructors have the freedom to select the methods that fit their laboratory constraints and teaching styles. The background information for each method of analysis is fully explained in easy-to-understand language. This presentation makes the module useful to first-year general chemistry students, environmental chemistry students, and upper-level chemistry students. The level is such that a high school chemistry class could successfully use the module.
