A standard solution is a solution (in this case sodium hydroxide) whose concentration (molarity) is known very precisely. <span>The molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution cannot be determined accurately because s</span>olid sodium hydroxide is highly hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air) and cannot be accurately weighed. Sodium hydroxide form sodium carbonate because it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.

Answer:

- To set the actual or exact concentration of sodium hydroxide.

- It is hygroscopic.

Explanation:

Hello,

Standardization is a procedure in experimental chemistry to know the actual concentration of a solution, in this case, sodium hydroxide. Such process is carried out by titrating the solution of sodium hydroxide with acid potassium phthalate.

On the other hand, the molarity of sodium hydroxide is not determined accurately since it is a highly hygroscopic material, it means that it includes the water in its structure, therefore the determined molarity will not be accurate since there will be an amount of water included into the sodium hydroxide's exact amount.

Best regards.

The relationship between pressure and volume, when moles and temperature of a gas are held constant, is: PV = k. We could say th
pochemuha
You can say that if the volume of the gas is halved, the pressure is doubled.

The expression shows that pressure and volume are inversely proportional if temperature and amount of gas is held constant.  This means that if volume goes down the pressure needs to go up.  That also means that in order to maintain the K value, if pressure is doubled the volume needs to be halved and if the pressure is halved the volume needs to be doubled.

This relationship only works if we assume everything else (Temperature and moles of gas) to be constant.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

\Psi=\Psi_s+\Psi_p\\

I=1;C=0.1;R=0.0831\\

T=20+273=293~C\\

as beaker is open so

\Psi_p=0\\

\Psi=\Psi_s\\\Psi=-2.43483

As ψof solution is lower than the root tissue so water will move out of the root to the solution

A 26.08 g mixture of zinc and sodium is reacted with a stoichiometric amount of sulfuric acid. The reaction mixture is then reac
Over [174]

Answer:

Molar percent of sodium in original mixture is 88,50%

Explanation:

The last reaction is:

BaCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

The moles of BaCl₂ are:

0,132L × 3,80M = 0,502 moles of BaCl₂

As the amount of BaCl₂ is the maximum possible to produce BaSO₄, the moles of BaCl₂ must be the same than moles of Na₂SO₄.

0,502 moles of BaCl₂ ≡ 0,502 moles of Na₂SO₄

These moles of Na₂SO₄ comes from:

2 Na + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂

As the reaction is in stoichiometric amounts, moles of Na are twice the moles of Na₂SO₄

0,502 moles of Na₂SO₄ ×\frac{2molesNa}{1moleNa_{2}SO_{4}}× 22,99 g/mole = 23,08 g of Na

Molar percent of sodium in original mixture is:

\frac{23,08g}{26,08g}*100 = <em>88,50% </em>

I hope it helps
