The problem with making a standard solution of sodium hydroxide from solid NaOH is that O a. the solid is hygroscopic and strongly absorbs water because of hydrogen bonding. O b. once the sodium hydroxide is made, carbon dioxides from the atmosphere immediately begins to react with the solution thereby changing its concentration. O the solid is extremely reactive and corrodes most laboratory containers. O d. the solid is extremely caustic and difficult to handle.
