Answer: It is an exothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.
Explanation:
Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant are less than the energy of product. In endothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, positive
Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product. In exothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, negative.
Thus as energy is absorbed by water, which has been released by NaOH, the process is exothermic.
Answer:
- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.
- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since molarity is mathematically defined as the moles of solute divided by the volume of solution and the weight/weight percent as the mass of solute divided by the mass of solution, we need:
- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.
- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.
For instance, if a 1-M solution of HCl has a density of 1.125 g/mL, we can compute the w/w% as follows:

Whereas the first factor corresponds to the molar mass of HCl, the second one the conversion from L to mL of solution and the third one the density to express in terms of grams of solution.

Yes thats true! You always have to think about the question or project before you start a science experiment! :)
