Suppose that the NaOH sitting on the shelf had absorbed 1 g of water for every 1 g of NaOH. How would this have affected your results

The concentration of NaOH will be lower and the titration will be affected.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, sodium hydroxide is acknowledged as a highly hygroscopic substance, which means that is able to absorb water to its molecules. In such a way, in any measurement, if sodium hydroxide has absorbed water, the results will be wrong in terms of accuracy. More specifically, for concentration, if we have for example 30 grams of NaOH and we dissolve it a 100-mL solution, as it absorbed 30 grams of water, the total volume could be now approximated to 130 mL, thus, the concentration will change as follows:

It causes the actual molarity to be decreased, it means that in a titration procedure, less acid would be used to neutralize it or more of it would be needed to neutralize a given acid.

Best regards.

the correct answer would be b. amelia, because the particals of gas move really fast (charged particals) and gas also has a lot of room (particals move independently) so the only answer that has both of those is amelia's.
