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.

The easiest way is to use the Law of Gay-Lussac. This law states that there is a direct relation between the temperature in Kelvin of a gas and the pressure.

Then, namig p the pressure and T the temperature in Kelvin and using subscripts for every state:

p/T is constant ==> p_1 / T_1 = p_2/T_2

From which you obtain:

p_2 = [p_1 / T_1] * T_2

T_1 = 33.0 + 273.15 = 306.15 K
T _2 = 21.4 + 273.15 = 294.55 K

p_1 = 1014 kPa

p_2 = 1014 kPa * 294.55 K / 306.15 K = 975.6 kPa

The specific heat of zinc is 0.39 J/g*°C. How much energy needed to change the temperature of 34g of zinc from 22°C to 57°C. Is
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

464.1 J absorbed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of zinc =  0.39 J/g°C

Mass of zinc = 34 g

Temperature changes = 22°C to 57°C

Energy absorbed or released = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 57°C -  22°C

ΔT = 35°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 34 g. 0.39 J/g°C. 35°C

Q = 464.1 J

What is the edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell made up of atoms having a radius of 144 pm?
belka [17]

Answer:

407pm is the edge length of the cubic unit cell

Explanation:

In a Face-centered cubic unit you can use Pythagoras theorem to relate edge length with atomic radius (As you can see in the picture), thus:

e²+e² = (4r)²

2e² = 16r²

e = √8 r

If the atomic radius of the atom is 144pm:

e = √8 ×144pm

e = 407ppm

407pm is the edge length of the cubic unit cell
