Why do you think sodium bicarbonate is included to neutralize an acidic spill rather than sodium hydroxide? Imagine a hypothetical situation in which 250 mL of diethyl ether (SDS) has spilled inside of a chemical fume hood onto a stir plate that is plugged in and stirring. Discuss the risks associated with this situation (location, size, compound spilled, and external hazards), and then explain how this spill should be managed.

Acid spills should be neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and then cleaned up with a paper towel or sponge.

Explanation:

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
