We just did this for our chemistry final. We did it completely wrong...But our teacher told us that the actual activation energy is somewhere between 20 and 30 kcals. Hope this helps!

What is the colour of sodium hydoxide?

NaOH is a white crystal/powder.


How can I find out whether a unknown mixture has protein in it?

The most common method is the biuret test: in the presence of a copper(II) solution and NaOH the sample become violet.


If lye NaOH is placed in water the solution gets very hot. what kind of reaction is this?

This is an exothermic reaction, which releases heat energy as the lye (NaOH) dissolves in water. This heat is generated due to the interaction between the ions in the NaOH and the water molecules.


Is there a gas produced when you mix drano and vinegar together?

No, there should be no gas formed when mixing Drano and vinegar. The main ingredient in Drano is NaOH, and vinegar is acetic acid. So, the chemical reaction would be...NaOH + CH3COOH ==> CH3COONa + H2O. Neither is a gas.


Why is the reaction between HCl and NaOH exothermic?

The reaction between HCl and NaOH is exothermic because it releases energy in the form of heat. This is due to the formation of water when the acid (HCl) and base (NaOH) neutralize each other. The breaking of bonds in the reactants and the formation of new bonds in the products results in a net release of energy.


What is the mass of 3.42 moles of NaOH?

3.42 moles NaOH (39.998 grams/1 mole NaOH) = 137 grams NaOH


How many grams of NaOH are there in 5.2 moles NaOH?

208g NaOH


Does the solubility of sodium hydroxide increase or decrease as the temperature inc?

The solubility of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) increases as the temperature increases. This is because the dissolution of NaOH in water is an endothermic process, meaning it absorbs heat. Therefore, higher temperatures provide the necessary energy to facilitate the solubility of NaOH in water.


How many liters of naoh are in 1.3 moles of 3.42 m of naoh?

Molarity = moles of solute/Liters of solution 3.42 M NaOH = 1.3 moles NaOH/Liters NaOH Liters NaOH = 1.3 moles NaOH/3.42 M NaOH = 0.38 Liters


Is NaOH a base or an acid?

NaOH is a base.


Is NaOH an acid or a base?

NaOH is a base.


I use HCl and NaOH as an example Why do HCl and NaOH equal NaCl and H2O instead of just staying HCl and NaOH why do they react with each other?

It may seem like a stupid question, but what you are asking is actually quite profound! Why do chemical reactions happen? I only have a rough idea why, its to do with the energy of the chemicals, if they can react so that the products of that reaction have less energy its very likely . In this case salt and water are produced, both are known to be very stable so therefore thye have less 'energy ' than the reactants. The field of chemical thermodynamics covers all this stuff.
