Sodium hydroxide wasn't used in the synthesis of divanillyl oxalate because it's a strong base.

<h3>What is sodium hydroxide?</h3>

It should be noted that sodium hydroxide simply means a corrosive cystaline solid which readily absorbs moisture until it dissolves.

In this case, sodium hydroxide wasn't used in the synthesis of divanillyl oxalate because it's a strong base and will decrease the yield of the product.

Divanillyl oxalate is a chemical that is produced by triethylamine. Sodium hydroxide is not used in its synthesis as it is a strong base.

<h3>What is sodium hydroxide?</h3>

Sodium hydroxide or caustic soda is an ionic compound with ions of sodium and hydroxide. The formula is shown as, \rm NaOH. It is crystalline and absorbs moisture from the surrounding.

It is not used in the synthesis of divanillyl oxalate as it is a strong base with pH 14 that affects the yield of the product in the reaction.

Therefore, sodium hydroxide is not used in the synthesis reaction.

Calculate the boiling temperature of a 0.50 M solution of sucrose. Assume that the concentration is 0.50 m.
Ronch [10]
There is one missing point in the question.

The formula to find an increase in boiling Temperature is :

ΔT = kb x M

ΔT = is the increase in boiling Temperature
Kb = Boiling point constant of the Solvent
M = Molarity

You did not provide the Kb. If you have it, you just have to insert it to the formula to find the ΔT.


And assuming that the other solution is water, you just have to add it up with 100 Celcius
