Explanation:
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is also known as lye which is a base (very high ph; Alkaline)
Now, in chemistry, equilibrium is what affects the reaction rate of a reaction. If they are in equilibrium, the concentrations of them will not change (both reactants and products).
Now, lets say that to synthesize a certain chemical, we need it to be in an acidic environment with HCL or some other acid as the catalyst for the reaction.
Well, if we were to add Sodium Hydroxide to this which is very alkaline, the ph would change greatly which affects the reaction rate. If we do not have enough energy to overcome the activation barrier, the reaction will not occur (atleast for a very long time).
However, a common mistake is thinking that a catalyst will affect the equilibrium. This is not true. The reaction will still take place but it will have a very slow reaction rate.
TLDR; Adding a catalyst (like NaOH or Sodium Hydroxide) will not change the equilibrium but instead change the reaction rate. The reaction can still occur, although it can take a very, very long time (like diamonds turning into graphite)
Heat fusion is the amount of energy required to convert one mole of ice into water, 16650J is per 50g so if we divide 16650 by 50 we find it per gram: 16650/50 = 333J/g or 0.33KJ/g
hope that helps :)
