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 empirical formula of a compound consisting of 29.6% oxygen and 70.4% fluorine by mass?
Rainbow [258]
O1Fl2

1. Assume an 100g sample, so the percentage will stay the same

2. Covert each element into their molar mass
29.6/16.00=1.8 mols of O
70.4/19.00=3.7 mols of Fl

3. Divide both by the smallest value of mol
1.8/1.8=1 O
3.7/1.8=2 Fl

4. Write the empirical formula:
O1Fl2

When salt is dissolved in water, what happens to the water
choli [55]

Answer:

<em>When salt is dissolved in water</em>, many physical properties change, among them the so called colligative properties:

  • The vapor pressure of water decreases,
  • The boiling point increases,
  • The freezing point decreases, and
  • Osmotic pressure appears.

Explanation:

Colligative properties are the physical properties of the solvents whose change is determined by the number of particles (moles or ions) of the solute added.

The colligative properties are: vapor pressure, boiling point, freezing point, and osmotic pressure.

<u>Vapor pressure</u>:

The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor of a lquid over its surface, in a closed vessel.

The vapor pressure increases when a solute is added, because the presence of the solute causes less solvent molecules to be near the surface ready to escape to the vapor phase, which means that the vapor pressure is lower.

<u>Boiling point</u>:

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. Since we have seen that the vapor pressure of water decreases when a solute occupies part of the surface, now more temperature will be required for the water molecules reach the atmospheric pressure. So, the boiling point increases when salt is dissolved in water.

<u>Freezing point</u>:

The freezing point is the temperarute at which the vapor pressure of the liquid and the solid are equal. Since, the vapor pressure of water with salt is lower than that of the pure water, the vapor pressure of the liquid and solid with salt will be equal at a lower temperature. Hence, the freezing point is lower (decreases).

<u>Osmotic pressure</u>:

Osmotic pressure is the additional pressure that must be exerted over a solution to make that the vapor pressure of the solvent in the solution equals the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. This additional pressure is proportional to the concentration of the solute: the higher the salt concentration the higher the osmotic pressure.
