A student prepares a standardized solution of sodium hydroxide by the procedure outlined. The student first prepares a saturated

solution of sodium hydroxide using freshly distilled or deionized water. She measures about 5 mL of the saturated solution with a graduated cylinder and dilutes to 1 L in a plastic bottle with freshly distilled or deionized water to make a solution that is about 0.1 M. To determine the exact concentration, she puts the NaOH solution in a buret and titrates a carefully-weighed pre-dried solid acid of known molar mass. She records the volume of NaOH needed to neutralize it and repeats the process several times to determine the concentration of the NaOH solution. She calculates the concentration and uncertainty in the concentration of the NaOH from the titration data.

NaOH has the property of deliquescent hence it cannot be weighed directly instead a saturated solution is diluted and desired concentration is obtained.

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide undergoes deliquescent.

Deliquescence is the process in which substance absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the extent of getting dissolved and form a solution.

Deliquescence happens when vapour pressure of solution formed is less than the partial pressure of water vapour in the air.

This is the reason that student did not measure the sodium hydroxide directly as the weight will change and proper solution cannot be made. Because of the deliquescence standard solution of NaOH is not prepared.

The student made a solution without weighing the NaOH instead she prepared a solution till the NaOH got dissolved and then diluted the solution.

Which of the following is the largest volume? 4.0 x 101 m3 3.8 x 107 cm3 3.8 x 105 dm3 3.8 x 108 mm3
fiasKO [112]
Answer : Option A) 4.0 X 101 m^{3} 

Explanation : As per the measurement chart the greatest metric system is measured in meters.

So the rest values are given in the form of metric values which are obviously less than that of meters. values of centimeters, decimeter and millimeters are less than that of meters.

How many grams of sodium oxide can be synthesized from 17.4 g of sodium? assume that more than enough oxygen is present. the bal
Tatiana [17]
Equation is as follow,

<span>                          4 Na (s)  +  O</span>₂ <span>(g)    →    2Na</span>₂<span>O (s)

According to equation,

      91.92 g (4 moles) of Na produces  =  123.92 g (2 moles) of Na</span>₂O
So,
                    17.4 g of Na will produce  =  X g of Na₂O

Solving for X,
                                   X  =  (17.4 g × 123.92 g) ÷ 91.92 g

                                   X  =  23.45 g of Na₂O
