Suppose you have a solution of naoh of unknown concentration. name three

possible substances that could be used as "titrant" solutions to titrate the naoh

solution.

Ok, so the goal of a titration is to figure out the concentration of the NaOH solution by seeing how much acid it takes to neutralize the NaOH solution. NaOH is a base, you want to neutralize it with an acid. The best acids to use would be a strong acid.

Some good choices would be hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, perchloric acid, nitric acid, or sulfuric acid. In reality, though, you could use pretty much any acid you wanted to.

Oh, and you should probably also add an indicator to your solution so that you know when your titration is done. In this case, a good choice would be phenolphthalein because it changes color right about pH of 8.

Explanation:

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
