FAQs

What is the scientific information about sodium hydroxide? ›

sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a corrosive white crystalline solid that contains the Na+ (sodium) cation and the OH (hydroxide) anion. It readily absorbs moisture until it dissolves. Sodium hydroxide is the most widely used industrial alkali and is often used in drain and oven cleaners.

What should never be used with sodium hydroxide? ›

Sodium hydroxide reacts with metals (aluminum, lead, tin or zinc) to form flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. Sodium hydroxide can form shock sensitive salts on contact with nitrogen containing compounds. Sodium hydroxide is not compatible with oxidizing agents, chlorinated solvents, ammonia, and organic materials.

How easy is it to get sodium hydroxide? ›

It's also a caustic chemical, so it's not as easy to find in stores as it used to be. Some shops carry it as Red Devil lye with laundry supplies. It's also found, usually in an impure form, in solid drain cleaners. Craft stores carry lye for soapmaking.

What is the sodium hydroxide test used for? ›

Sodium hydroxide solution can be used to identify some metal ions (cations). Solutions of aluminium, calcium and magnesium ions form white precipitates when sodium hydroxide solution is added but only the aluminium hydroxide precipitate dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide solution.

What are the two main uses of sodium hydroxide? ›

Manufacturers may use sodium hydroxide to produce soaps, rayon, paper, products that explode, dyes, and petroleum products. Other tasks that may use sodium hydroxide include processing cotton fabric, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extraction.

What is the old name for sodium hydroxide? ›

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH . −15.8·106 cm3/mol (aq.)

What is a safer alternative to sodium hydroxide? ›

In summary, magnesium hydroxide is a safe alternative alkali to use as a replacement for sodium hydroxide and is readily available as both a powder and as 63% solids slurry.

Why is sodium hydroxide bad for skin? ›

Sodium hydroxide is strongly irritating and corrosive. It can cause severe burns and permanent damage to any tissue that it comes in contact with. Sodium hydroxide can cause hydrolysis of proteins, and hence can cause burns in the eyes which may lead to permanent eye damage.

What to do if NaOH gets on skin? ›

Skin Contact

brush off excess chemical and wash gently with large amounts water for at least 30 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.

How to make sodium hydroxide at home without electricity? ›

Dissolve 1 tablespoon (17 grams) of salt in 1.24 cups (290 mL) of water. Add the water to a glass and gently pour the salt into the water. Stir it in well with a spoon until the salt is completely dissolved. If your cup has a lid, attach it after adding the salt and shake it up and down to mix the salt it in.

How to make your own lye? ›

The process involves boiling the ashes from a hardwood fire (soft woods have too much resin to mix with fat) in a little soft water—rainwater is best. Boil for about half an hour, let the ashes settle to the bottom of the pan, and then skim the liquid lye off the top.

Is sodium hydroxide just salt water? ›

Sodium hydroxide is derived from salt water (brine). It is most commonly manufactured by the electrolysis of brine, a salt (NaCl) solution. During this process the water (H20) is reduced to hydrogen gas (H) and hydroxide ion (OH). The hydroxide ion bonds with the sodium to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

What is the daily use of sodium hydroxide? ›

Sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture many everyday products, such as paper, aluminum, commercial drain and oven cleaners, and soap and detergents.

What does sodium hydroxide do to the body? ›

Sodium hydroxide is a manufactured chemical. It is present in several domestic cleaning products. Very low levels can produce irritation of the skin and eyes. Exposure to the solid or concentrated liquid can cause severe burns in the eyes, skin, and gastrointestinal tract which may ultimately lead to death.

What are four uses of sodium hydroxide? ›

Uses of Sodium Hydroxide- NaOH
  • It is used in the manufacturing of detergents and soaps.
  • It is used in the production of bleach-like chlorine.
  • It is used in drain cleaners.
  • It is used in the removal of heavy metals from the water by the municipal water treatment facility.

What best describes sodium hydroxide? ›

Sodium Hydroxide is an odorless, white solid that absorbs moisture from the air. It is used to make textiles, cellophane, and pulp and paper, in soaps and detergents, and for etching and electroplating. Substance List because it is cited by OSHA, ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH, NFPA and EPA.

Is sodium hydroxide toxic? ›

Sodium hydroxide does not produce systemic toxicity, but is very CORROSIVE and can cause severe burns in all tissues that it comes in contact with. Sodium hydroxide poses a particular threat to the eyes, since it can hydrolyze protein, leading to severe eye damage.

What is the function of sodium hydroxide in an experiment? ›

Adding sodium hydroxide is commonly used to increase the pH of a given solution, given that NaOH is a strong base. Additionally, however, the hydroxide anion is capable of serving as a fairly strong nucleophile, meaning that it can be used in reactive addition capacities as well.

What happens when sodium hydroxide reacts with water? ›

NaOH + H2O = Na+ and OH- ions. The reaction will be Exothermic, where heat will be released. Sodium hydroxide is considered a strong base and as such is able to completely and fully disassociate in aqueous solution.
