  1. Properties of H2O:

2.1 Physical properties of H2O:

  • State: Liquid at standard conditions.
  • Color: Colorless.
  • Odor: Odorless.
  • PH level: 7 (at 25°C).
    2.2 Chemical properties of H2O: Stable, not flammable, does not react with oxygen, hydrogen gas, does not react with metals under normal conditions. Water can react with metals, non-metals, salts, acids, bases.
  1. Common chemical equations involving H2O:
    • Metal reaction: 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2.
    • Acidic Oxide reaction: SO3 + H2O -> H2SO4
    • Non-metal reaction: H2O + Cl2 -> HCl + HClO
    • Reaction with salts: Does not participate in reactions
  2. Synthesis of H2O:
    4.1 Laboratory synthesis of H2O:
    • 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O.
      4.2 Industrial synthesis of H2O:
    • H2 + 1/2O2 -> H2O.
      These are basic knowledge about H2O – an essential chemical substance in our daily life.
