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.

7. If the pOH of an RbOH solution is 6.32, what is the concentration (molarity) of the base?
liubo4ka [24]

4.79 x 10⁻⁷moldm⁻³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

    pOH of RbOH = 6.32

Unknown:

Molarity of the base = ?

Solution:        

    The pH or pOH scale is used for expressing the level of acidity alkalinity of aqueous solutions.

                      pOH = -log[OH⁻]

  we know the pOH to be 6.32

               6.32 = -log[OH⁻]

               [OH⁻]  = inverse log₁₀(6.32)

                [OH⁻] =  4.79 x 10⁻⁷moldm⁻³
