In order to study saponification reaction we first prepare 20% solution of sodium hydroxide. If we record the temperature of this solution just afte radding sodium hydroxide flakes to water and also test its nature using litmus, it may be concluded that the process of making this solution is

A

exothermic and the solution is alkaline

B

endothermic and the solution is alkaline

C

endothermic and the solution is acidic

D

exothermic and the solution is acidic.

When electricity is passed through a common salt solution, sodium hydroxide is produced along with the liberation of two gases 'X' and 'Y' The gas X burns with a pop sound whereas 'Y' is used for disinfecting drinking water. State the reaction of Y with slaked lime.

Hydrolysis of methyl acetate in aqueous solution has been studied by titrating the liberated acetic acid against sodium hydroxide. The concentration of the ester at different times is given below. Show that it follows a pseudo first order reaction, as the concentration of water remains nearly constant (55 mol L^(-1)), during the course of the reaction. What is the value of k in this equation? Rate = k [CH_3C00CH_3][H_20]

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow trough. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now, lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions : What would be the volume of oleic acid in each mL of solution prepared?
