Because we need to know the exact volume of the solution (and so the amount of the titrant).

Why ist necessary to rinse the clean burette before filling it with the unstandardised sodium hydroxide solution?

It is a rule of safety in chemistry: to remove any micro-drops of water from the pipette.


Do all dish washing detergents produce same amount of bubbles?

No.


Can a blimp filled with carbon dioxide float?

It can, if you fill the balloon with air and let it float on the carbon dioxide. We used to do this with soap bubbles to illustrate certain effects of surface tension (for example, the fact that bubbles of the same size form a planar interface, but the interface between bubbles of different sizes bulges towards the larger bubble, proving the pressure in the smaller one is higher... it's much easier to see this when the bubble isn't actively falling towards the floor as you're trying to observe it). Put a piece of dry ice in the bottom of a large bath jar, and allow the bubbles to float on the denser carbon dioxide layer in the jar. Filling a balloon with carbon dioxide, though, will not cause it to float, as carbon dioxide is denser than air.


What is a liquid filling machine used for?

Liquid filling machines typically use pressure-overflow fillers, which have a very fast fill rate and can handle a wide range of viscosities. Any leftover product in the filling tubes gets pushed back into the tank, preventing overflow and spillage


How would you justify the presence of 18 elements in the fifth of period of periodic table?

In the fifth period of the periodic table, the atoms of the elements in the first two groups are adding 1 and 2 electrons, respectively, to their highest energy 5s sublevel. Starting in group 3/IIIB and going through group 12/IIB, the atoms of those elements are adding electrons to their highest energy 4d sublevel. Since the d sublevel can contain a maxium of 10 electrons, there are 10 elements whose atoms are filling the 4d sublevel. Once the 4d sublevel is filled, the next higher energy sublevel is the 5p sublevel. Starting with the group 13/IIIA elements, the 5p sublevel is being filled. Since a p sublevel can contain a maximum of 6 electrons, there are six elements whose atoms are filling the 5p sublevel. 5s sublevel filling: 2 elements 4d sublevel filling: 10 elements 5p sublevel filling: 6 elements --------------------------------------- Total: 18 elements For a printable periodic table that includes electron configurations, go to the following link: http://www.nist.gov/pml/data/periodic.cfm
