Explanation:
NaOH (sodium hydroxide), when exposed to the air, will react with the carbon dioxide in air, to form sodium carbonate (see equation). This means that sodium hydroxide as a solid or in solution will loose its strength with time and degree of exposure and solutions of NaOH will need to be standardised.
