NA(OH)2 is actually sodium hydroxide. The sodium (NA) cation carries a +2 charge, and the hydroxide (OH) anion carries a -1 charge. To balance the equation you must have 2 hydroxide ions to make the anionic charge total -2 to match the cationic +2 charge. It is used to make soaps, cleaners, and hydrogen gas in an aqueous solution when exposed to electrical current. It is a highly corrosive base and should be handled with caution.

No because you have an extra H. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH.

1952 wheat penny that is almost a gold color what is it?

It's may have been plated for use in jewelry, or more likely was used in a high-school chemistry experiment. I forget the details but there's a compound (NaOH2 ?) that reacts with copper to turn it a goldish color. Either way it's not worth anything as a rarity but it makes an interesting conversation piece.


Can you know from its name if an acid or base is strong or weak?

Not always. The naming of acids and bases does not directly indicate their strength. Strong acids or bases tend to dissociate completely in water, while weak acids or bases only partially dissociate. Factors such as chemical structure and equilibrium constants determine the strength of an acid or base rather than its name.


How many moles are in 80.00g of NaOH?

To do this, you need to know the molecular weight of the element you're dealing with, by adding up the atomic weights of the elements involved (found on any periodic table). The molecular weight is the mass in grams of the compound in one mole - this will provide you with a conversion factor. So take the measurement in grams and divide it by the molecular weight to convert to moles. Really what you're doing is multiplying the number by 1 mole, and dividing it by the equivalent of one mole, the molecular weight. That's the thought process behind unit analysis and how you get your "units to cancel".In this case, the answer is about 2 grams NaOH.


What is the balanced equation for the reaction of calcicum nitrate and sodium hydroxide?

The balanced equation for the reaction between calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is: Ca(NO3)2 + 2 NaOH → Ca(OH)2 + 2 NaNO3. This reaction forms calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3).
