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.

What is the IUPAC name for this molecule above?<br>with explanation step​
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

3,4–diethylheptane

Explanation:

To name the compound given in the question above, the following must be obtained:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound.

2. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

3. Identify the substituent groups attached to the compound.

4. Give the substituent groups the lowest possible count by naming them alphabetically.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall name the compound given in the question above as follow:

1. The compound belongs to the alkane family since it has only single bonds.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 7 i.e the parent name of the compound is heptane.

3. The substituent group attached to the compound is ethyl (–CH2CH3). There are two ethyl groups attached to the compound.

4. The two ethyl group is at carbon 3 and 4 (i.e number from the right to the upper branch chain).

5. The name of the compound is:

3,4–diethylheptane.

Choose all the answers that apply. What are examples of how science has influenced technology?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

A: The discovery of x- rays is a scientific discovery that led to X-ray machines which is technology.

B: Finding out that massive amounts of energy can be released by splitting the nucleus of an atom was the discovery and it led to nuclear power plants.

Satellites helping scientists map the earth doesn't really have an example of science. It just says that Satellites help scientists, and satellites are technology.

Robotic machines are also technology. Robots assisting doctors in surgery is technology helping people not science influencing technology.

So A and B would be the answers.

Hope this helps :)
