MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Solid NaOH is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. A student places solid NaOH into a weighing dish and leaves the sample out for too long before weighing it. The student then dissolves the NaOH and uses the solution in a titration of an acid. The measured amount of the acid will therefore be:

     

    A

    less than the actual amount of acid

    B

    greater than the actual amount of acid

    C

    equal to the actual amount of acid

    D
