No it does noot evaporate faster than sugar in water
The volume of hydrogen gas that evolved is calculated as follows
by use of ideal gas equation
that is PV = nRT
P=745 mm hg
V= ?
R(gas constant)= 62.36 L.mm hg/mol.k
T= 20 + 273 = 293 k
n=number of moles which is calculated as follows
find the moles of Na used
= 0.52/23=0.023 moles
write the reacting equation
2Na +2H2O =2NaOH +H2
by use of reacting ratio between Na : H2 which is 2:1 therefore the mole of H2 = 0.023/2 =0.0115 moles
by making the volume the subject of the formula
v=nRT/P
V= (0.0115 x 62.36 x 293) / 745 = 0.283 L
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]
Perspex and polythene are good examples of insulators.
