The answer to this question would be: Because the increase of temperature will increase volume.

Using PV=nRT formula we can see that temperature increase will cause an increase in volume. Overheating will cause the volume increase, then increasing the volume. If the percent value used is based on the volume, it will seem that the water is increased. But if the percent is using mass, there will be no increases.
That is why sometimes scientists using molality in a reaction with high temperature changes.

What mass of NaOH is in 3.0e+02 mL of a 5.0 M NaOH solution?
Snezhnost [94]
Answer is: mass of sodium hydroxide is 60 grams.
V(NaOH) = 300 mL · 1 L/1000mL = 0,3 L.
c(NaOH) = 5 M = 5 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = c(NaOH) · V(NaOH).
n(NaOH) = 5 mol/L · 0,3 L.
n(NaOH) = 1,5 mol.
m(NaOH) = n(NaOH) · M(NaOH).
m(NaOH) = 1,5 mol · 40 g/mol.
m(NaOH) = 60 g.

In the following redox reaction which is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent? AlCl3 + Na NaCl + Al
horrorfan [7]

Answer :  Al

Explanation :

- For a given redox reaction there must be an oxidizing agent/(s) and a reducing agent/(s).

- the oxidizing agent is the substance that undergoes reduction process (gaining electrons or loss of oxygen atoms), meanwhile, the reducing agent is the substance that undergoes oxidation process (loss of electrons or gaining of oxygen atoms).

- In the reaction above, the oxidation number of (Al) in AlCl3 is (3+). However, the oxidation number of (Al) in the products is zero because it exists as a single element.

Therefore, changing from (3+) to zero means gaining of (3) electrons to neutralize the previously existing (3) protons on (Al) in AlCl3.

So Al is the oxidizing agent..
