Explain why unboiled water can be used to prepare an acetic acid solution, but not a naoh solution?

Chemistry

shtirl [24]3 years ago
8 0
NaOH is a hygroscopic compound, which means that it has a very strong affinity for water. Moreover, NaOH is also a stronger base than acetic acid is a strong acid. These two properties of NaOH make it necessary for different precautions to be taken while preparing a solution. 
On the other hand, acetic acid is not very reactive and may easily be prepared in a solution of unboiled water.

Bună ziua, mă poate ajuta și pe mine cineva, spunândumi din ce substanțe este formată cărămida și care este formula
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: De câte cărămizi am nevoie? Pentru un perete de cărămidă cu strat singular, înmulțiți lungimea peretelui cu înălțimea pentru a obține zona. Înmulțiți acea zonă cu 60 pentru a obține numărul de cărămizi de care ar trebui să aveți nevoie, apoi adăugați 10% pentru risipă. Acesta este răspunsul scurt și presupune dimensiuni „standard” de cărămidă și mortar.

2.15 Liters of helium gas at a pressure of 58 kPa and a temperature of 25 degrees celsius, what is the new volume at stp?
Nastasia [14]
The ideal gas law is P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. STP means the temperature is 273 K and pressure is 101.3 kPa. According to this formula, the new volume V2=2.15*58*273/(298*101.3) = 1.13 L.

three moles of sodium carbonate are mixed with two moles of lead nitrate in aqueous solution, leading to formation of a solid pr
aleksandrvk [35]

There are 4 moles of spectator ions that remain in solution.

The equation of the reaction is;

Na2CO3(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -------> PbCO3(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

We have to determine the limiting reactant. This is the reactant that yields the least amount of product. Note that the spectator ions are Na^+ and NO3^- that form NaNO3.

For Na2CO3

1 mole of Na2CO3 yields 2 moles of NaNO3

3 moles of Na2CO3 yields  3 × 2/1 = 6 moles of NaNO3

For Pb(NO3)2

1 mole of Pb(NO3)2 yields 2 moles of NaNO3

2 moles of Pb(NO3)2 yields 2 × 2/1 = 4 moles of NaNO3

We can see that Pb(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant.

Since [NaNO3] = [Na^+] = [NO3^-], it follows that there are 4 moles of spectator ions that remain in solution.

How do the solvent and solute differ in a solution
hodyreva [135]
A solution is a homogeneous mixture, meaning it contains 2 or more substances. A solute is a substance that’s dissolved in the solvent. Think of it as dissolving salt (solute) in water (solvent) to make a salt solution. The amount of each substance in the solution impacts the concentration of it. So if I put more salt than water, it increases its concentration, while adding more water decreases its concentration.
