Why is concentrated sodium hydroxide preferred than water

Chemistry
1 answer:
mariarad [96]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH

2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOH·H

2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.

As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.[12]

Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons, while demand was 51 million tons.[13]

What elements that have a non polar covalent bond make up the molecule of oil
marissa [1.9K]

Because water is polar and oil is nonpolar, their molecules are not attracted to each other. The molecules of a polar solvent like water are attracted to other polar molecules, such as those of sugar. ( I hope that helps )

Calculate the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31. The mass of a phosphorus-31 nucleus is 30.973765 amu. The masses o
Nata [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.

The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:

\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M

where,

n_p = number of protons

m_p = mass of one proton

n_n = number of neutrons

m_n = mass of one neutron

M = mass number of element

We are given:

An isotope of phosphorus which is _{15}^{31}\textrm{P}

Number of protons = atomic number = 15

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16

Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=[(15\times 1.00728)+(16\times 1.00866)]-30.973765\\\\\Delta m=0.27399

Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

What is the molarity of a solution in which 58g of nacl are dissolved in 1.0 l of solution
Lady_Fox [76]

Hey there :

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles :

n = mass of solute / molar mass

n = 58 / 58.44

n = 0.9924 moles of NaCl

Volume = 1.0 L

Therefore:

Molarity = number of moles / volume ( L )

Molarity = 0.9924 / 1.0

Molarity = 0.9924 M

Hope that helps!

A patient needs 0.024 g of a sulfa drug. There are 12-mg tablets in stock. How many tablets should be given?
emmainna [20.7K]
I would personally convert the 12 mg to g so I could see what I was working with. So 12 mg to grams is 0.012 g...

so 1 tablet is 0.012g. the patient needs 0.024 g. 

so 0.024g/0.012g = 2 tablets or 0.012g X 2 is 0.024 g

hope this helps :)
