Goal:
Studentscorrelatethemodelsforspecificheatandviscosityofwater.
Classroomoptions:
Allow510minutesforstudents,workinginsmallgroups,toanswerthequestions.Thenyou
canleadthediscussion,summarizinganswersonthechalkboardoranoverheadtransparency

Instructornotes:
Recalltostudentsourmodelthatsaysthatwater'shighspecificheatisduetobreakingof
hydrogenbonds.Astemperatureincreases,moreofthehydrogenbondsmustbebroken(in
ordertokeepthespecificheathigh),sothenumberofhydrogenbondsbetweenwater
moleculesdecreasesastemperatureincreases.
Studentsshouldreasonandconclude:
Asthetemperatureincreases,theviscositydecreases.Ourmodelpredictsthattherearefewer
hydrogenbondsbetweenwatermoleculesathighertemperatures.Fewerhydrogenbonds
shouldmeanthatthewatermoleculesaresomewhatmorefreetomoveindependently.At
highertemperaturesthereshouldbelessresistancetoflow,thatis,lowerviscosity,justas
