States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
Suppose the concentration of the NaOH solution was 0.5 M instead of 0.1 M. Would this titration have required more, less, or the same amount of NaOH solution for a complete reaction?
Suppose you used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate your vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M. What effect does the concentration of base added have on the reliability of the results of your titration?
Consider a 0.238 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH,
How many individual hydroxide ions (OH−) are found in 23.46 mL and
How many moles of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, are neutralized by 23.46 mL of 0.238 M NaOH(aq)? [Hint: begin by writing a balanced equation for this neutralization reaction.]
