Why must the sodium hydroxide solution be standardized before use? Why can’t a solution of known concentration just be prepared

immediately before use?

Answer:

It is a highly hygroscopic material so it could have water inside even when solid.

Explanation:

Hello,

It turns out that sodium hydroxide is a highly hygroscopic material, it means that it is able to catch as much water as it can from the environment and subsequently attach it to its structure even when solid, that is why a simple weight by a balance is not enough to determine the exact weight of a pure sodium hydroxide sample. Consequently, a strict standardization must be performed before its usage, since an error in the sodium hydroxide's concentration could be exhibited due to the misestimation.

Best regards.

Sodium hydroxide is deliquescent (absorbs moisture from the atmosphere) solid. It cannot be weighed accurately. Therefore, it is not possible to prepare a standard solution of sodium hydroxide of accurately known concentration by weighing NaOH.

What is responsible for the larger size of an anion in comparison with the atom from which it is form?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.  

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.    

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.

What volume of 0.08892 M HNO3 is required to react completetly with 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.0303 Liters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the potassium hydrogen phosphate = 0.2352

Molarity of the HNO₃ Solution = 0.08892 M

Now,

From the reaction it can be observed that 1 mol of potassium hydrogen phosphate reacts with 2 mol of HNO₃

The number of moles of 0.2352 g of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= Mass / Molar mass

also,

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phosphate

= 2 × (39.09) + 1 + 30.97 + 4 × 16 = 174.15 g / mol

Number of moles = 0.2352 / 174.15 = 0.00135 moles

thus,

The number of moles of HNO₃ required for  0.00135 moles

= 2 ×  0.00135 mol of HNO₃

= 0.0027 mol of HNO₃

Now,

Molarity = Number of Moles / Volume

thus,

for 0.0027 mol of HNO₃, we have

0.08892 = 0.0027 / Volume

or

Volume =  0.0303 Liters
