Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.

That's why only one atom of  sodium combine with one atom chlorine.

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH
Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

    No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                           = \frac{12 g}{60 g/mol}

                           = 0.2 mol

Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.

              Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                 1 g/ml = \frac{100 g}{volume}

                    volume = 100 ml

Hence, molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

                           = \frac{0.2 mol}{0.1 L}

                           = 2 mol/l

As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.

     NaOH + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O

So,          moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid

Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".

          x \times 1 M = 10 mL \times 2 M     (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

                        x = 20 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.
