1.aqueous alkalis react with carbon dioxide.
alkali + CO2 --> CO3 +H2O
e.g.2NAOH(aq) + CO2 (g) --> CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)

Referring to the diagram above,what is the meaning of the last sentence,"it
can be used for the absorption of carbon dioxide in gas analysis."
Can anyone explain it?

The above diagram shows the electrolysis of sodium chloride in chlor-alkali industry.It manufactures hydrogen,chlorine,sodium hydroxide and other products.
i.Why titanium and nickel are used as anode and cathode respectively?
ii.Nickel forms cation,how can it attract H+ ions?
3.Concentrated hydrochloric acid is a volatile liquid,which gives out white
fumes(acid mist:hydrogen chloride gas).Cocentrated nitric acid has the
same property but concentrated sulphuric acid doesn't.

i.Hydrogen chloride dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid.
Why it gives out fumes when it is exposed to the air?It has already
dissolved in water.
iiWhy this phenomenon will not occur in dilute hydrochloric acid?
iii.What is the meaning of volatile?My textbook said"Concentrated sulphuric
acid has a high boiling point,so it doesn't give an acid mist when exposed
to air."Why a liquid with high boiling point is not volatile?
4.Concentrated acids and alkalis are very corrosive especially when they are
hot.Why?
