    Presented by group 4 section-I

    of water
    Introduction
    The majority of us have an innate curiosity
    about why water is essential to life and why it
    touches every aspect of our daily lives. Water is
    the most plentiful material in the planet because
    water is essential to so many important functions,
    such as maintaining global temperature, providing
    habitat, and sustaining life itself. Humans have
    60% water in our bodies, which helps to control
    body temperature, transport nutrients and oxygen
    to cells, cushion joints, protect organs and tissues,
    Hydrogen and oxygen make up water, which can
    exist in three different states: gas, liquid, and solid. It
    is a tasteless, odorless liquid at room temperature
    that is referred to as the universal solvent due to its
    significant capacity to dissolve a wide range of other
    substances. Water also has a high heat capacity and
    vaporization, which are both helpful in controlling the
    environment's temperature. Its cohesion and
    adhesion qualities result in surface tension and
    capillary action, both of which are vital to plant
    growth. Lastly, the density of water affects
    buoyancy, temperature regulation, and nutrient
    OBJECTIVE S:

    • Identify the solubility of


    different reagents in water

    • Describe the
    water's surface
    tension.
    METHODOLOGY
    A.Water solubility
    1. Test tubes
    were labeled
    with the name
    of samples.
    2. 2ml
    distilled
    water were
    placed in
    each test
    tubes.
    3. 2ml
    liquid
    reagent
    and a pinch
    of solid
    reagent
    were added
    in each test
    4. Each test tube was shaken and
    stirred well to ensure that the water
    reagents are mix together.
    035. The stability of
    each mixture
    were
    obserserved.
    B. Surface tension
    1. A drop of water was placed
    on a wax paper.
    2. The beaker contained
    a bottle of water. After
    being held below the
    water's surface, the clip
    was released then.
    Then, the behavior o the
    paper clip were
    observed.
    3. After being taken o of
    the water, the paper
    clip were dried off. After
    that, the paper clip
    wercaterefully
    positioned above the
    water. Then, the
    behavior of the paper
    clip where observed.
    4. The paper clip was carefully placed
    above the surface of the acetone. After
    that, the behavior of the clip was
    observed.

    STEPS: OBSERVATIONS

    1. Shape a drop of Since the wax paper did nor


    water absorb the water, a droplet of
    water dropped within it
    formed spherialcal, dome-
    shapestrucutreure.
    Additionally,the water droplet
    slides effortlessly throughthe
    wax paper without losing its
    shape.
    2. Paper clip The paper clip did not
    below the water float back above the
    water's surface after
    surface it was forcefully place
    below it.

    3. Paper clip The paper clip floats


    above the water when the paper clip is
    gently place above
    the water's surface.
    The paper clip is
    4. Paper clip gently put above the
    above the acetone surface
    acetone using the same
    technique as with
    the water. The paper
    clip shrinks below
    the acetone surface,
    hence the outcome
    is different from the
    paper clip
    submerged in water.
    GUIDE QUESTIONS:
    1. Draw the structure of water molecules bonded by H
    bond.
    2. Explain why water forms beads onward
    surface but spreads out on a clean glass surface.

    The water forms beads on a waxy surface due to


    the strong cohesive forces; the water molecules
    were stick to each other, forming beads. On the
    other hand, Water spreads out on a clean glass
    surface because the adhesive forces between the
    liquid and the glass are stronger than the
    cohesive forces within the water, allowing it to
    spread.
    3. Why does ice float on water? What is the
    biological importance of ice floating on bodies of
    water such as ponds, rivers, and lakes during
    winters?
    Ice floats on water due to its lower density
    compared to liquid water because when water
    freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a
    crystalline structure that is less dense than when
    they are in liquid form. Also, the biological
    importance of ice floating in bodies of water lies in
    its role as a layer on the surface, ice prevents
    heat loss from the water, beneath, maintaining
    global relatively stable temperature to allow
    4. Why is water called the universal solvent?
    Water's designation as the univeral solvent
    stems from its unique molecular properties,
    particularly its polarity and ability to form
    hydrogen bonds. These characteristics
    enable it to dissolve a wide range of
    substances, making it crucial for biological
    processes and environmental dynamics.
    5. What are hypothermi and hyperthermia? What causes this condition?

    HYPOTHERMIA - is a condition that occurs when core body temperature


    drops below 95 °C Fahrenheit ( 35 °C ). It is a medical emergency. The
    body loses heat faster that it can produce heat, causing dangerously low
    body temperature. Symptoms include SHIVERYING, SLOW BREATHING,
    MENTAL CONFUSION , and a WEAK PULSE. The key to recovery is to get a
    warm as soon as possible. An abnormally high body caused by a failure
    of the heat - regulating mechanisms of the body to deal with the heat
    coming from the environment.
    HYPERTHERMIA - is the state of increased core body temperature
    resulting from the body creating more heat that it can dissipate. A
    temperature higher than 37.5 °C or 38.3 °C classifies as hyperthermia in
    humans.
    Hyperthermia causes by being DEHYDRATED, AGE - RELATED changes to
    the skin such as impaired blood circulation and inefficient sweat glands.
    6. Discuss the damaging effects of water's high
    specific heat.

    - The capability for a molecule to absorb heat


    energy is called heat capacity. Water's high heat
    capacity is a property caused by a hydrogen
    bonding among water molecules when heat is
    absorbed, hydrogen bonds are broken and water
    molecules can move freely. When the temperature
    of water decreases the hydrogen bonds are formed
    and release a considerable amount of energy.
