To do this, you would first add together the molar mass of all involved elements, to find how many grams are in a mole of Cu(OH)2. Keep in mind, the molar mass is equal to the atomic mass of an element in grams. For example the molar mass of copper (Cu) would be 63.55 (with 2 sig. figs.)
Therefore, now we add together the mass of all elements involved.
Cu: (63.55)+O2(15.99x2=31.98)+H2(1.01x2=2.02)
63.55+31.98+2.02= 97.55g per mole of Cu(OH)2.
Now, divide what we have by how much it takes to get a mole of the stuff.
68.1/97.55= 0.698mol Cu(OH)2

1) Increasing the temperature.
2) Increasing the concentration (in solution).
3) Increasing the pressure (in gases).
4) Increasing the surface area of a solid.
Hygroscopic nature of NaOH is the main reason for the lower concentration of the sodium hydroxide in the solution.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- It is a well known fact that Sodium hydroxide pellets are hygroscopic in nature, which clearly means that the sodium hydroxide pellets absorbs moisture from the air, so that it becomes deliquescent.
- When the NaOH crystals are weighed, the crystals absorb moisture from the surroundings, and so the weight of the crystals may change, so the concentration of the solution was lower than the required one.So it is not possible to prepare NaOH solution under normal room temperature.
- So, while preparing the solution of NaOH we have to be more careful.
Sorry it’s a bit blurry, you should be able to make it out
