Answer

Na OH reacts with H Cl and forms Na Cl and H₂O

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Here we can see that 1 mole of NaOH reacting with 1 mole of HCl and forming 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of H₂O

when NaOH and HCl are added together in equal amount then they will completely neutralize each other but NaOH is hygroscopic in nature which means it can absorb water from air so it will not be weighted accurately.

hence, for neutralization we will take extra NaOH.

[OH-] for a solution is

solong [7]

Answer:

B = basic

Explanation:

Given data:

[OH⁻] = 5.35×10⁻⁴M

pH = ?

Solution:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

pOH = - [5.35×10⁻⁴]

pOH = 3.272

it is known that,

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14- pOH

pH = 14 - 3.272

pH = 10.728

The acidic pH is range from zero to less than 7 while 7 pH is neutral and above 7 the pH is basic. So, the given solution is basic.

Electrolytic cells use electricity to cause a nonspontaneous redox reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is constructed using

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

At anode - ${Br_2}_{(l)}$

At cathode - ${H_2}_{(g)}$

Explanation:

Electrolysis of NaBr:

Water will exist as:

$H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-$

The salt, NaBr will dissociate as:

$NaBr\rightarrow Na^++Br^-$

At the anode, oxidation takes place, as shown below.

${Br^-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow {Br_2}_{(l)}+2e^-$

At the cathode, reduction takes place, as shown below.

$2{H^+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow {H_2}_{(g)}$
