What are the properties of H2O?

We expect S and O to have similar properties...
H2S a gas while H2O is a liquid . WHY?
The difference between a gas and a liquid?
Molecules in a liquid are STUCK to each other

Can think of this as a SKIN for waterThe force that holds the skin together is the

Due to strong H-bonding, water has a really high surface tension (72 mN/m at RT)
![Page 16: Surface tension wetting 2016 - Talks by researchers … · Let’s try some more chemistry What is? ... What happens at the surface of water? ... Covering the skin –Changing surface](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022609/5b93569009d3f206218d24d7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Surface tension – how much is 72 mN/m?
- Water “skin” can hold up insects…- Can water “skin” support the weight of dense
metal objects? Can metal objects float?
Is 72 mN/m sufficient to hold up a paper clip?
But, this has nothing to do with surface tension
Remember Archimedes?

Wet sand sticks together
Plant uptake Is this the only mechanism for water uptake?
Does this set a limit on how high plants can grow?

Hydrophobic: > 110o
SUPER-hydrophobic: > 160o

WETTING depends on whether the solid likes the liquid
Oil and water hate to mix
Solids that like water, don’t like oilandSolids that like oil, don’t like waterCan we use this to separate oil and water?

- HYDROPHOBIC sponges that are capable of absorbing hexane (dyed red) underwater
- OMNIPHILIC sponges: absorb > 10X their weight of water OR oil

Pesticide use can contaminate food, soil, water
Problem: How do we efficiently get hydrophobic pesticides onto leaves?

Water on rose leaf tilted at 30o
In general, leaf surfaces are HYDROPHOBIC
Leaf surfaces have a waxy coating. Therefore, they hate water.

We have discovered that nanoparticles (prepared from sunflower oil) can solve this problem
These nanoparticles are non-toxic. In fact, they are food-grade (viz. you can eat them)
