Water ions that interact with

The coefficients Co, nnd C2 (denoted as mq, ai, and aj in Ref. 33) are influenced by various molecular properties of the solvent and an ion, including their electron-donating or accepting abilities. Hence, these coefficients are specific to the ion. Nevertheless, they may be considered as common to a family of ions such as the polyanions whose surface atoms, directly interacting with solvents, are oxygens. This is the case for hydrated cations or anions whose surfaces are composed of some water molecules that interact with outer water molecules in the W phase or with organic solvents in the O phase. 

The dissociation of an acidic or basic compound in aqueous solution produces ions that interact with water. The pH of the aqueous solution is determined by the position of equilibrium in reactions between the ions that are present in solution and the water molecules. Pure water contains a few ions, produced by the dissociation of water molecules ...

Hard water contains metallic ions, such as magnesium or calcium ions, that interact with soap to form insoluble films or scum. Hardness is not hazardous to health but may form scale in boilers and clog water pipes. Excess calcium and magnesium can be removed by ion exchange water softeners.

It can be seen from Table 2 that the intrinsic values of the pK s are close to the model compound value that we use for Cys(8.3), and that interactions with surrounding titratable residues are responsible for the final apparent values of the ionization constants. It can also be seen that the best agreement with the experimental value is obtained for the YPT structure suplemented with the 27 N-terminal amino acids, although both the original YPT structure and the one with the crystal water molecule give values close to the experimentally determined one. Minimization, however, makes the agreement worse, probably because it w s done without the presence of any solvent molecules, which are important for the residues on the surface of the protein. For the YTS structure, which refers to the protein crystallized with an SO4 ion, the results with and without the ion included in the calculations, arc far from the experimental value. This may indicate that con-... 

Internal and External Phases. When dyeing hydrated fibers, for example, hydrophUic fibers in aqueous dyebaths, two distinct solvent phases exist, the external and the internal. The external solvent phase consists of the mobile molecules that are in the external dyebath so far away from the fiber that they are not influenced by it. The internal phase comprises the water that is within the fiber infrastmcture in a bound or static state and is an integral part of the internal stmcture in terms of defining the physical chemistry and thermodynamics of the system. Thus dye molecules have different chemical potentials when in the internal solvent phase than when in the external phase. Further, the effects of hydrogen ions (H" ) or hydroxyl ions (OH ) have a different impact. In the external phase acids or bases are completely dissociated and give an external or dyebath pH. In the internal phase these ions can interact with the fiber polymer chain and cause ionization of functional groups. This results in the pH of the internal phase being different from the external phase and the theoretical concept of internal pH (6). 

Water is highly polar, but it is not ionic. How, then, can water act as a solvent for ionic solids A salt dissolves only if the interactions between the ions and the solvent are strong enough to overcome the attractive forces that hold ions in the ciystal lattice. When an ionic solid forms an aqueous solution, the cations and anions are solvated by strong ion-dipole interactions with water molecules. 

The manufacturers of windshield coatings take advantage of the fact that the hydrophilic substances possess chemical structures that permit favorable intermolecular interactions with water. Chemical species capable of exhibiting hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, or ion-dipole interactions with water are typically hydrophilic substances. Alternatively, hydrophobic substances typically are nonpolar molecules that exhibit only weak van der Waals interactions with water. 

Most solvents have unshared pairs of electrons, and they are polar. Therefore, they have the ability to attach to metal ions or interact with anions. As a result, when many solids crystallize from solutions, they have included a definite number of solvent molecules. When this occurs in water, we say that the crystal is a hydrate. An example of this is the well-known copper sulfate pentahydrate,... 

A mechanism that explains the high apparent ionic mobilities of protons and hydroxide ions in terms of hydrogen bond-making/-breaking steps along extended chains of water molecules. Solvation of a proton can be represented simply as H30, and this hydronium ion strongly interacts with other molecules in a hydrogen-bond network.
