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.

How many molecules of carbon tetrafluoride, CF4, are in 176 grams of CF4?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1.2*10^24 molecules of CF4

Explanation:

the molar mass of cf4 is 88.0043 g/mol

176/88.0043 = 2 moles of CF4

Then multiply by avogadro's number (6.022*10^23) to get the number of molecules

2*6.022*10^23 = 1.2*10^24 molecules of CF4

When an ice cube melts in your hand, it changes from a solid to a liquid.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B. exothermic; leaving

Explanation:

The exothermic process releases heat, which causes the surrounding area to increase in temperature.

Your hand is releasing heat and makes the temperature of the ice cube increase, to where it melts.
