5.Ethyl cellulose was synthesized successfully in one step based on reaction of cellulose with excess chloroethane and sodium hydroxide in toluene as diluent.
6.However, in terms of general usage, the word 'bleach' is used to refer to common household bleach, which consists of 3-8% sodium hypochlorite and trace amounts of sodium hydroxide.
7.It is composed of what sounds like a bizarre mixture: fly-ash, a fine-grained waste product from coal-fired power stations; carbon nanotubes, cylindrical molecules made of elemental carbon; and two binding agents, sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide.
8.The standard enthalpy of formation for hydrochloric acid is -167.2 kJ per mole; for sodium hydroxide it's -469.15 kJ per mole; for liquid water it's -285.8; and for sodium chloride it's -407.27.
9.You could technically have an even higher pH. A really high concentration of sodium hydroxide in water can have a pH of 15, which means there’s only 1 hydrogen ion for every 100 million hydroxide ions.
10.Remember that we can look up the standard enthalpy of formation for all the products and reactants in the back of a textbook or online, the chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide produces liquid water and sodium chloride.
