Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is also known as lye which is a base (very high ph; Alkaline)
Now, in chemistry, equilibrium is what affects the reaction rate of a reaction. If they are in equilibrium, the concentrations of them will not change (both reactants and products).
Now, lets say that to synthesize a certain chemical, we need it to be in an acidic environment with HCL or some other acid as the catalyst for the reaction.
Well, if we were to add Sodium Hydroxide to this which is very alkaline, the ph would change greatly which affects the reaction rate. If we do not have enough energy to overcome the activation barrier, the reaction will not occur (atleast for a very long time).
However, a common mistake is thinking that a catalyst will affect the equilibrium. This is not true. The reaction will still take place but it will have a very slow reaction rate.
TLDR; Adding a catalyst (like NaOH or Sodium Hydroxide) will not change the equilibrium but instead change the reaction rate. The reaction can still occur, although it can take a very, very long time (like diamonds turning into graphite)
Explanation:
There is variety of evidence that supports the claims that plate tectonics accounts for
(1) the distribution of fossils on different continents
,(2) the occurrence of earthquakes, and
(3) continental and ocean floor features including mountains, volcanoes, faults, and trenches.
MARK AS BRAINLIST IF IT IS USEFUL
Answer : Option B) Plant stomata opening and closing to maintain homeostasis.
Explanation : Claude Bernand was a French Physiologist who first discovered about "homeostasis" which is defined as the controlled stability of the internal milieu, or internal environment, of cells and tissues in plants.
In plants stomatal opening and closing was done for maintaining homeostasis with the external and internal plant environment.
probably condensation and evaporation and freezing.. PROBABLY idk
True due to the fact that eight electrons are what applies directly to the octet rule
