The answer is highly soluble

<h3>How does sodium hydroxide dissolve in water?</h3>

When hydroxide (NaOH) dissolved in water, it divides into positively and negatively charged sodium ions (cations) and hydroxide ions (anions). These ions move freely and independently in water, while cations prefer to be surrounded more closely by anions and vice versa.

Although sodium hydroxide is more soluble in hot than in cold water, the process of dissolving sodium hydroxide in water is exothermic.

The unknown compound's insolubility in water might be attributed to its big hydrocarbon group. Because it is dissolved in 5% Naoh, its substituent may be acidic because the interaction with NaOH produces an anion that is soluble in aqueous solution.

Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?

stepan [7]

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

A shopkeeper has a few bottles of soft drinks in his shop.But,these are not labelled.He has to serve the drinks on the demand on

zepelin [54]

Answer:

He will decide which drink is to be served to whom, by the use of litmus paper.

Explanation:

The litmus paper is the most common indicator to determine the acidity or basicity of a solution. Blue litmus paper changes its color to red when a solution changes from basic to acidic while red litmus paper changes its color to blue when the opposite occurs (acid → basic).

First of all the litmus paper strip, pH indicator, is immersed in a solution and allowed to pass between 10 and 15 seconds while keeping the strip submerged. Afterwards it is removed, and then the strip compares the color. If the color is diffuse, there is a color scale where it is determined which solution has alkaline or acidic pH
