When making a solution of sodium hydroxide and water, a student weighed out an certain amount of sodium hydroxide pellets and di

ssolved them in an certain amount of water. However, the sodium hydroxide concentration of the resulting solution was lower than the concentration that the student thought they made. What was the problem?

Hygroscopic nature of NaOH is the main reason for the lower concentration of the sodium hydroxide in the solution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • It is a well known fact that Sodium hydroxide pellets are hygroscopic in nature, which clearly means that the sodium hydroxide pellets absorbs moisture from the air, so that it becomes deliquescent.
  • When the NaOH crystals are weighed, the crystals absorb moisture from the surroundings, and so the weight of the crystals may change, so the concentration of the solution was lower than the required one.So it is not possible to prepare NaOH solution under normal room temperature.
  • So, while preparing the solution of NaOH we have to be more careful.

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of a substance's molecules.
Komok [63]
True

According to the molecular theory. The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy.

A .100 molal aqueous solution of which compound has the lowest freezing point
Umnica [9.8K]
Missing question:
a. C6H12O6 
<span>b. CH3OH </span>
<span>c. C12H22O11 </span>
<span>d. NaOH.
</span>Answer is: d. NaOH.
b(solution) = 0,1 m.

ΔT = Kf · b(solution) · i.

Kf - the freezing point depression constant.

i - Van 't Hoff factor. Because dissociate on one cation and one anions, sodium hydroxide has i = 2, other molecules has covalent bonds (i = 1, do not dissociate on ions).

Because molality and the freezing point depression constant are constant, greatest freezing point lowering is solution with highest Van 't Hoff factor.

Hydrocarbons containing a saturated carbon ring are called _____.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer : The hydrocarbons containing a saturated carbon ring are called Aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon.

Explanation :

As the organic compounds are classified into two categories that is acyclic (aliphatic) and cyclic (aromatic) compounds.

Acyclic compounds : It is an open chain compound with linear structure.

Cyclic compounds : It is a closed chain compound having a carbon ring structure.

Hydrocarbon : It is an organic compound that contains only hydrogen and the carbon atoms. They are of two types which are saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Saturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing single bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In saturated compounds, there are more number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.

Unsaturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing double and triple bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In unsaturated compounds, there are less number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.

Hence, the hydrocarbons containing a saturated carbon ring are called Aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon.
