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.

A sample of Mo(NO3)6 has 2.22 x 10^22 nitrogen atom, how many oxygen atoms does the sample have?
goldfiish [28.3K]

There are 3.98 × 10^23 atoms of oxygen in the sample.

Given that;

1 mole of Mo(NO3)6 contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms of Nitrogen

x moles of Mo(NO3)6 contains 2.22 x 10^22 atoms of nitrogen

x = 1 mole × 2.22 x 10^22 atoms/6.02 × 10^23 atoms

x = 0.0368 moles

The number of oxygen atoms in the sample is given by; 0.0368 × 6.02 × 10^23 × 18

Therefore, there are 3.98 × 10^23 atoms of oxygen in the sample.

A balloon is inflated such that a radius is 7 cm what is the volume of air inside the balloon in milliliters
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

V=14373.33\ \text{mm}^3

Explanation:

It is given that,

The radius of the inflated balloon is 7 cm.

We need to find the volume of air inside the balloon in milliliters.

The balloon is in the shape of a sphere whose volume is given by :

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\\text{Put r = 7 cm}\\\\V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 7\times 7\times 7\\\\V=1437.33\ \text{cm}^3\\\\\text{We know that, 1 cm = 10 mm}\\\\\text{So},\\\\V=14373.33\ \text{mm}^3

Hence, the volume of the air inside the balloon is 14373.33\ \text{mm}^3.

Why does nuclear charge increase as you go left to right across a period
MariettaO [177]

 The atomic number increases moving left to right across a period and subsequently so does the effective nuclear charge. Therefore, moving left to right across a period the nucleus has a greater pull on the outer electrons and the atomic radii decreases.

Can someone help.? thanks :)​

Answer:

  • <u>1. Equation: 2x  + 3 = 9x - 11</u>

<u></u>

  • <u>2. Each row has 2 chairs</u>

Explanation:

The variable x represents the number of chairs in each row.

<u />

<u>1. She can form 2 rows of a given length with 3 chairs left over.</u>

Thus, she has:

number of rows  number of chairs in      chairs             number of chairs

                             each row                       left over         she has

     2                        x                                    3                      2x + 3

<u>2.  She can form 9 rows of the same length if she gets 11 more chairs.</u>

That means that she is short in 11 chairs to have 9x chairs, or that she has 11 less chairs than 9x chairs. Then she has:

  • 9x - 11

<u>3. Equation:</u>

Then, number of chairs she has is 2x + 3 and, also, 9x - 11, which allows to set the equation:

  • 2x + 3 = 9x  -11

<u>4. Solve the equation:</u>

  • 9x - 2x = 3 + 11
  • 7x = 14
  • x = 2

Therefore, each row has 2 chairs, and she has 2x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 chairs.
