Answer:
Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH
2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOH·H
2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.
As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.[12]
Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons, while demand was 51 million tons.[13]
Answer:
A) solute - NaCl, solvent - water
B) solute - O2 and other gases, solvent - N2
C) solute - ethanol, solvent - water
D) solute - tin, solvent - copper
Explanation:
Solute(s) is/are the minor component(s) in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.
Solvent is the component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount. It is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
If both solute and solvent exist in equal quantities (such as in a 50% ethanol, 50% water solution), the concepts of "solute" and "solvent" become less relevant, but the substance that is more often used as a solvent is normally designated as the solvent (in this example, water).
Answer: A dune is a mound of sand formed by the wind, usually along the beach or in a desert. Dunes can also be formed by strong currents beneath the water.
Water molecules are made of hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
