The dissolution of sodium hydroxide in water is very exothermic. One might worry the solution may boil out of the volumetric flask and cause a hazardous situation. Volumetric flasks are also fairly thin compared to a beaker and aren't designed to take much heat, if any

In a beaker, sugar is dissolved in water, and then the water is heated and evaporates. The sugar is recovered, and heat is again applied. Vapor is released, and the material in the beaker changes from white to black. What must you know to determine if a chemical change occurred? CO2 (carbon dioxide) CuO (oxidized copper) H2O (distilled water) H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) NaCl (sodium chloride)
