Which is more basic KOH or NaoH?

NaOH and KOH both are strong alkalis the difference is in their solubilities in organic solvents and organic reactions for example alkyl halides undergo substitution in aq. NaOH but elimination in alcoholic KOH'''KOH (like NaOH) is hygroscopic. Even at high temperatures, solid KOH does not dehydrate readily.Approximately 121 g of KOH will dissolve in 100 mL of water at room temperature (compared with 100 g of NaOH in the same volume).KOH, like NaOH, serves as a source of OH−, a highly nucleophilic anion that attacks polar bonds in both inorganic and organic materials.While KOH and NaOH are both strong bases, potassium is further down on the periodic table than sodium. That gives you valuable information regarding the nature of these elements. A general rule of thumb is that atoms are more reactive going down a column, and are more reactive as you go toward the left of a row.The pKb value of potassium hydroxide is 0.5, while the value for sodium hydroxide is 0.2 (the smaller the value of pKb, the stronger the base). Therefore, NaOH is stronger than KOH. In addition, sodium is less electronegative than potassium, so NaOH is more willing to release the hydroxy group and it is stronger base.Their first ionization energies are different as well: 496kJ/mol for sodium, 419kJ/mol for potassium. The relatively small excess of hydroxide- released by KOH compared with NaOH doesn't seem like it would impart that much added reactivity.In industrial scale, KOH is more expensive than NaOH (depends on concentration of KOH), so NaOH is widely used instead of KOH. But they both shows many similarities.NaOH creates the solids and KOH creates liquid soap.


Standardisation of naoh solution in titration with citric acid?

In titration, the standardization of NaOH solution involves determining its exact concentration by titrating it against a primary standard substance (e.g., potassium hydrogen phthalate). Citric acid cannot be used for standardizing NaOH directly due to its multiple acidic protons and lack of stability as a primary standard. Once the NaOH solution is standardized, it can be accurately used in titrations with citric acid to determine its concentration or in other analytical procedures.


Can we make 1N NaOH solution from 0.1N NaOH solution?

Yes, you can make a 1N NaOH solution from a 0.1N NaOH solution by diluting it 10 times. For example, to make 1 liter of 1N NaOH solution, you would mix 100 ml of the 0.1N NaOH solution with 900 ml of water.


Does potassium chloride contain oxygen?

No. It contains only potassium and chlorine.


What is monoacidic base?

A monoacidic base is a base that can donate only one hydroxide ion per molecule in a chemical reaction. It can neutralize one equivalent of an acid to form a salt and water. Examples include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).

What is the product and balanced equation of C8H5O4K NaOH?

The reaction between C8H5O4K and NaOH will produce potassium salicylate (C7H5KO3) and water. The balanced equation is: C8H5O4K + NaOH → C7H5KO3 + H2O.

Why only phenol dissolve in aqueous NaOH?

Phenol is not dissolved in a sodium hydroxide solution; having the characteristics of a weak acid phenol react with NaOH.


What amount of NaOH is required to prepare 1N NaOH solution and why only that amount is used?

To prepare a 1N NaOH solution, you would need to dissolve 40 grams of NaOH in water to make 1 liter of solution. This amount is used because 1N solution means 1 mole of NaOH per liter of solution, and the molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol, so 40 grams of NaOH is needed to have 1 mole in 1 liter of solution.


Is potassium metal a pure substance or a mixture?

Potassium metal is a pure substance. In fact, it is an element as well. The reason potassium metal is an element is that it only contains one type of atom (all atoms of potassium have the same number of protons).


Which is stronger NaOH or NH3?

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is typically stronger than ammonia (NH3) in terms of its basicity. NaOH is a strong base that dissociates completely in water to produce hydroxide ions, whereas NH3 is a weak base that only partially dissociates in water. This makes NaOH more effective in neutralizing acids and increasing the pH of a solution.
