• 3 Atoms: two hydrogen & one oxygen• H+ H+ O2-

To change a state of matter
• Need time to add or remove heat
• Need time for the hydrogen bonds to break
12
Pure Water
• 100 % water—nothing else• No suspended particles• No dissolved substances including gases
13
State Change Temperatures
• Pure water melts/freezes at 0° C (32 ° F)• Pure water boils/condenses at 100 ° C (212
° F)
– [at standard air pressure]
14
For example:
• Take solid water (ice)• Add heat• Temperature rises above freezing point• Ice melts• Forms liquid water
15
Another example:
• Start with liquid water• Add heat• Temperature rises• Water evaporates to form gaseous water
(water vapor)
16
Also works in reverse:
• Start with water vapor (gas)• Remove heat (cool)• Temperature falls• Water vapor condenses to form liquid water• Remove more heat• Freezing• Solid water (ice) forms
17
Heat is not the same as temperature
What is Heat?
• Heat is energy • Measured in calories• A calorie is the amount of heat needed to
raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1° C
• [Kcal (1000 calories) = 1 food calorie]
19
Remember:
• It takes 1 calorie of energy (heat) to raise the temperature of 1 gram of liquid water by 1° C
• Also, if you remove 1 calorie of energy the temperature of 1 gram of liquid water will then drop 1° C
20
But look at state (phases) changes:
• To change 1 gram of ice at 0° C to liquid water at 0° C
• Requires 80 calories per gram not 1 calorie
• Called the latent heat of fusion
21
And:
• To change 1 gram of liquid water at 100° C to gas (water vapor) at 100° C
• Requires 540 calories per gram not 1 calorie
• Called the latent heat of vaporization
22
Why?
• Not changing temperature• Breaking chemical bonds• That takes energy (heat)
• Works in reverse by taking heat away (chemical bonds are formed)
23
Solid Liquid Gas
24
A--hydrogen bondB--oxygen atomC--hydrogen atom
D--positively charged side of the water moleculeE--negatively charged side of the water molecule
25
State Change Terminology
• Solid to liquid: melting• Liquid to gas: evaporation• Gas to liquid: condensation• Liquid to solid: freezing• Solid to gas: sublimation• Gas to solid: deposition
26
Heat Capacity
• Is defined as the quantity of heat required to produce a unit change of temperature in a unit mass of that material
• Heat capacity of water is 1 calorie per gram per degree Celsius
• Heat capacity of water is higher than most other liquids due to hydrogen bonding
27
28
Heat capacities:
Liquid water = 1 cal/g/ºC
Ice = 0.5 cal/g/ºC
Water vapor = 0.5 cal/g/ºC
How many calories does it take to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water from -100 ºC to +150 ºC ?

High heat capacity helps move heat around the Earth, moderating climate
• Water evaporates from oceans, absorbing heat from oceans
• Winds move water vapor • Water returns to liquid form by
precipitation, adding heat to the atmosphere
31
Range of normal Earth Temperaturescontrolled by latent heat
• Deserts +50° C (122° F)• Antarctica -50° (-58° F)
– Land range 100° C (180° F)
• Tropical oceans +28° C (82° F)• Polar oceans -2° C (28° F)
– Ocean range 30° C (54° F)
32
Land versus Ocean Temperatures
• Land:– +50° C (122° F) to -50° (-58° F)– Land range 100° C (180° F)
• Water:– +28° C (82° F) to -2° C (28° F)– Ocean range 30° C (54° F)
33
“Evaporation is a cooling process”
• You’ve probably heard that phrase• To evaporate water takes 540 calories of
heat per gram• Essentially absorbing heat• Example—cooling our bodies (removing
heat energy) by evaporation of perspiration
34
Heat Capacity Summary:
• Day/night change of water temperature is very small
• Helps redistribute heat around Earth• Helps stabilize Earth’s surface temperatures
35
Cohesion
• Water has more structure than other liquids due to the hydrogen bonds - hold water together
• Water molecules stay close together due to polarity
• Makes water relatively sticky
36
Surface Tension
• Water molecules form a film because of sticky nature of water
• Paper clip floats, water striders• Overfill glass of water• High surface tension is important
for waves• Decrease temperature increases
surface tension and vice versa37
Viscosity
• Resistance to flow• High viscosity means high resistance to
flow• Affected by temperature—“slow as
molasses in January”
38
Density
• Less dense floats on denser liquids• Example: Ocean water is denser than fresh
water so fresh floats on salt water• Defined: mass per unit volume of a
substance• Measured in grams per unit centimeter
cubed
39
What is mass?
• Mass is the amount of matter present• It is not the same as weight• Weight changes depending on gravity• Mass remains constant• Think of astronauts—normal weight on
Earth, weightless in space, 1/6th of Earth weight on moon, but their mass is constant
40
Density
• Pure water: D = 1.0000 g/cm3
– At 4° C (39.2° F)
• Sea water has salt dissolved in it, so it is denser than pure water
• Sea water: D = 1.0278 g/cm3
– At 4° C (39.2° F)
41
Coke Can Density Experiment
• Can of regular Coke sinks in water• Same size can of Diet Coke floats
• WHY?
42
Effect of Temperature on Density
• As heat is added, molecules move faster and move farther apart
• End up with less mass per unit volume• Therefore, as temperature increases, density
decreases
43
Less dense substances float on denser substances
• Dry pine wood floats on water• Oil floats on water• Fresh water floats on salt water• Warm water floats on cold water
44
Ice and Density
• As pure water cools, density increases• Maximum D at 4° C ( D = 1 g/cm3)• Below 4° C solid crystal ice structure starts
to form and molecules are pushed apart• Same mass but occupying larger volume so
lower density• Ice is 10 % less dense than water at 4° C• Ice floats
45
46
Note how water molecules are farther apart than in liquid water47
Effect of Salt on Density
• Dissolved materials increase density of water (more mass per unit volume)
• Pure water: D = 1.000 g/cm3
• Fresh water: D ≈ 1.000 g/cm3 • Sea water: D = 1.0278 g/cm
– [at 4° C]
48
Pressure• Increases with depth• For every 10 m (33 ft.) in depth
the pressure increases by 1 atmosphere
• 1 atmosphere = 14.7 pounds per square inch
49
Water = Universal Solvent
• Essentially everything dissolves in water
50
Light• Visible light is narrow band of electromagnetic
spectrum• Visible light is broken into rainbow ROY G BIV• Red absorbed within 33 ft. in ocean• Blue-green light spectrum goes deeper Objects seen in natural color at the surface Objects in deeper water appear dark because
illuminated by blue light

Visible Light & Seawater
• 60% is absorbed in 1st meter• 80% is absorbed by 10 m (33 ft)• 99% is absorbed by 150 m (500 ft)• 100% is absorbed by 1000 m (3300 ft)
53
Why is the Sea Blue?
• Color = reflected light• Red end of spectrum absorbed• Blue-green end reflected back• We see the reflected blue end of the
spectrum• ROY G BIV
Absorbed Reflected back
54
55
Transmission of light in water is measured using a Secchi disk
56
The Secchi Disk measures water clarity. Simply lower the disk and record water depth at which you can no longer see it. Very low-tech, but effective measure.
57
Sound
• Travels faster in water than air• Velocity 1500 m/s (5000 ft/s)• In dry air 334 m/s (1100 ft/s)• Speed increases if
– Temperature increases– Pressure increases– Salt increases
58
PDR and DSL
• PDR = Precision depth recorder• Uses narrow sound beam traces bottom
while ship is in motion• Echo Finders = fish finders• DSL = Deep Scattering Layer • Organisms/fish found by depth recorders
(creates false bottom on depth recorder)
59
SONAR(Sound Navigation & Ranging)
• Underwater location system• Locates objects and finds targets• Echo reflected from target• Sound shadows formed• Sound changes speed as passes through
different densities of water
60
SOFAR Sound Channel
• Sound is transmitted more effectively and rapidly in water than it is in air
• Sound velocity in the ocean is about 1500 m/s, or about 4-5 times that in air
• Sound is focused into the SOFAR channel because of its low velocity region
• Sound is transmitted best through this channel -- important for submarines and cetaceans
