Properties of Water

Chapter 2-2

Questions of the day

1. What is the difference between cohesion and adhesion?

2. What are some “real-life” examples of adhesion and cohesion being used?

Adhesion Vs Cohesion

• Adhesion: the attraction between molecules of a different substance

• Cohesion: the attraction between molecules of the same substance

Capillary Action

• is a phenomenon where liquid spontaneously rises in a narrow space such as a thin tube, or in porous materials • Why do you thing this

happens?

Surface Tension

• is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force • How does

cohesion/adhesion fir in with surface tension?

pH Scale

Buffers

• A weak acid or base that is used to change the pH of a solution in small increments

• Question:• Solution has a pH of 12 and

we need the pH to be 10. What type of buffer would you use?
