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]

A 35.0-ml sample of 0.20 m lioh is titrated with 0.25 m hcl. What is the ph of the solution after 23.0 ml of hcl have been added
kiruha [24]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

pH = 12.33

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The equation of reaction is :

LiOH(aq) + HCl(aq) --> LiCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Reactants left after the titrant is added;

Total Moles LiOH;

= 0.035L LiOH × (0.2moles/L)

= 0.007moles of LiOH

Moles of HCl;

= 0.023L HCl × (0.25moles/L)

= 0.00575moles HCl is the limiting reagent

Reacting amount of moles of LiOH;

= 0.0575 moles HCl *(1mole LiOH/1moles HCl)

=0.00575 moles LiOH (reacted)

Moles of LiOH left;

= 0.007moles total - 0.00575moles that react

= .00125 moles of LiOH (left)

LiOH is a strong base, which means that it ionizes completely.  

0.00125moles LiOH *(moles/0.058L) = 0.02155M of LiOH

LiOH(aq) --> Li+(aq) + OH-(aq)

[LiOH] = [OH-] = 0.02155 M

pOH = -log[OH-]

pOH = -log(0.02155)

pOH= 1.67

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 1.67

pH = 12.33

Which of the followings is true about G0'? A. G0' can be determined using Keq' B. G0' indicates if a reaction can occur under no
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A and D are true , while B and F statements are false.

Explanation:

A) True.  Since the standard gibbs free energy is

ΔG = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q

where Q= [P1]ᵃ.../([R1]ᵇ...) , representing the ratio of the product of concentration of chemical reaction products P and the product of concentration of chemical reaction reactants R

when the system reaches equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=Keq

0 = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q → ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

therefore the first equation also can be expressed as

ΔG = RT*ln (Q/Keq)

thus the standard gibbs free energy can be determined using Keq

B) False. ΔG⁰ represents the change of free energy under standard conditions . Nevertheless , it will give us a clue about the ΔG around the standard conditions .For example if ΔG⁰>>0 then is likely that ΔG>0 ( from the first equation) if the temperature or concentration changes are not very distant from the standard conditions

C) False. From the equation presented

ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

ΔG⁰>0 if Keq<1 and ΔG⁰<0 if Keq>1

for example, for a reversible reaction  ΔG⁰ will be <0 for forward or reverse reaction and the ΔG⁰ will be >0 for the other one ( reverse or forward reaction)

D) True. Standard conditions refer to

T= 298 K

pH= 7

P= 1 atm

C= 1 M for all reactants

Water = 55.6 M
