Ammonia has a characteristic sharp, choking smell. It also makes damp red litmus paper turn blue. Ammonia forms a white smoke of ammonium chloride when hydrogen chloride gas, from concentrated hydrochloric acid, is held near it.
NaOH is a strong base and complete dissociation into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [NaOH] = [OH⁻]
To calculate the [OH⁻], we can first find the pOH as NaOH is a basic solution.
pH + pOH = 14
Since pH = 11.50
pOH = 14 - 11.50
pOH = 2.50
We can calculate [OH⁻] by knowing pOH
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
therefore [NaOH] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
In a solid the particles are all really close together and stuck like that. As the solid melts and becomes a liquid the particles spread out. A solid won’t easily change its shape because the particles are bound together but in a liquid the shape is more fluid, take water when you pour it into a container it will change to fit the shape of a container this is because the particles aren’t as close and can move around. The particles of a solid change when it melts because it is changing states to a liquid.
