explain the similarity and difference in two events name adding NaOH water and adding CaO to water
Answers
Answer:
Reaction between NaOH and water: NaOH + H2O → Na+ + OH-
Reaction between CaO and water : CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + heat
Explanation:
difference :In the 1St reaction NaOH is breakdown in the ion
and in 2Nd reaction calcium hydroxide is formed
Similarities : the both reaction are exothermic in nature in both of rxn heat is evolved
Answer:
please mark me as brainliest plz .
Explanation:
Similarity:
(i) Both NaOH and CaO dissolve in water. NaOH
dissolves in water forming aqueous NaOH
while CaO reacts with water to form Calcium
Hydroxide [Ca(OH)2
]
(ii) Both are bitter in taste, and turn red litmus to
blue. i.e. both are basic in nature.
NaOH(s) + H2
O(l) → NaOH(aq) + Heat
CaO(s) + H2
O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + Heat
Both are exothermic reactions.
(iii) After adding water, the properties of aqueous
solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and
aqueous solution of calcium oxide (CaO) are
different.
Difference:
(i) Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is highly soluble
in water, whereas calcium oxide (CaO) is less
soluble in water.
(ii) Aqueous solution of NaOH is monovalent,
whereas aqueous solution of Ca(OH)2
is divalent.
(iii) As NaOH is highly soluble in water, makes strong
base whereas Ca(OH)2 is a weak base.
