Write a balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and sulfuric acid. A conical flask contains 25cm^3 of 0.124M NaOH, a burette contains 0.0625M sulfuric acid. Find the minimum amount of acid required to completely react with the NaOH in the flask.

first, consider balanced equation: consider reaction occuring: NaOH + H₂SO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + H₂O (neutralisation) ions present in each reactant...

State and explain the conditions for cis/trans isomerism and how this differs from E/Z isomerism.

cis/trans isomerism requires a double bond for restricted rotation about the bond, two different groups on each carbon of the double bond and at least one of the groups on each carbon of the double bond a...
