    Why can't alcohol react with aqueous NaOH?

    Hi, alcohol is able to react with Na (s), but not NaOH (aq) Why is it so? In aqueous NaOH, there are mobile Na+ and OH-, so shouldn't alcohol be able to react with Na+ to form salt too? Many thanks!

    Ideal gas question on glass bulbs

    ok, the bulb placed in hot bath will increase its temperature and pressure, that's why the overall pressure is increased, wait, that means \begin{array}{l} \frac{{{p_1}{v_1}}}{{{T_1}}} = \frac{{{p_2}{v_2}}}{{{T_2}}} \\ \end{array} is not valid in this situation?

    Ideal gas question on glass bulbs

    The bulb at 0C has higher pressure because amount of gas molecules are higher at there? But how could it be since it has lower temperature, i thought the pressure would be higher in the bulb at hot bath since the gas molecules travel faster

    Ideal gas question on glass bulbs

    Two glass bulbs of equal volume are joined by a narrow tube and are filled with gas at s.t.p. (standard temperature and pressure where \theta = {0^ \circ }{\rm{C}} and p = 1.01 \times {10^5} Pa). When one bulb is kept in melting ice and the other is placed in hot bath, the new pressure is 1.166...

    Chemistry How Many Total Moles Are in a 1 Mol dm-3 Solution of HCl?

    How many number of moles of molecules are there in 1 mol dm-3 of HCl? Is it correct to find it this way? Number of moles of HCl = 1 mol Number of moles of H2O = 1000/18 = 55.6 mol So, total number of moles = 55.6 + 1 = 56.6 molesIf i change the question of 3 mol dm-3 of HNO3, Then the total...

    LaTeX Is there a problem with the latex?

    Since PF is one of the most renowned science forums in the web currently, I thought the standard required would be higher. I hardly use LateX now unless necessary. Even if I have to use mathematical language to better illustrate my question, I normally use MathType® and save it as .GIF, then...

    Proof by Induction: Proving the Sum of Squares Identity

    Thanks for the replies, I have a typo error on Question 2, which should be {\left[ {\frac{{n\left( {n + 1} \right)}}{2}} \right]^2} , thanks for correcting me. Here are my attempts, But I don't quite understand your explanation on qn 1...
