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 are the dangers of sodium hydroxide solution? ›

Sodium hydroxide is a potentially dangerous substance. It can hurt you if it touches your skin, if you drink it or if you breathe it. Eating or drinking sodium hydroxide can cause severe burns and immediate vomiting, nausea, diarrhea or chest and stomach pain, as well as swallowing difficulties.

Explore More ›

What should never be used with sodium hydroxide? ›

Sodium Hydroxide reacts with STRONG ACIDS (such as HYDROCHLORIC, SULFURIC and NITRIC); WATER; and MOISTURE to rapidly release heat. Sodium Hydroxide reacts with METALS (such as ALUMINUM, LEAD, TIN and ZINC) to form flammable and explosive Hydrogen gas.

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.

Know More ›

What are the two main uses of sodium hydroxide? ›

Uses of sodium hydroxide in the home:

Drain cleaners and oven cleaners contain sodium hydroxide and are the products used at home. The clogged pipes which contain grease and fats are converted to soap by sodium hydroxide.

What happens when you mix sodium hydroxide and salt? ›

Here, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to sodium chloride (NaCl). The result is no visible reaction.

Why is sodium hydroxide bad? ›

Sodium hydroxide is corrosive to all body tissues; concentrated vapors cause serious damage to the eyes and respiratory system. Ingestion of sodium hydroxide, which occurs frequently in children, can cause severe necrosis, with stricture of the esophagus and death.

How to make your own lye? ›

To make lye in the kitchen, boil the ashes from a hardwood fire (soft woods are too resinous to mix with fat) in a little soft water, rainwater is best, for about half an hour. Allow the ashes to settle to the bottom of the pan and then skim the liquid lye off the top.

What is the general information about NaOH? ›

The son of Lamech and ninth in descent from Adam, he was a man of blameless piety, who was chosen by God to perpetuate the human race after his wicked contemporaries had perished in the flood. On God's instructions, Noah built an ark and took into it one male and one female of each of the world's animals.

What is the function of the sodium hydroxide? ›

Sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture soaps, rayon, paper, explosives, dyestuffs, and petroleum products. It is also used in processing cotton fabric, laundering and bleaching, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extracting.

Know More ›

What does sodium hydroxide do in experiments? ›

Sodium hydroxide reacts well both with metals (zinc, aluminum, titanium) and non-metals: halogens, sulfur and phosphorus. In the interaction of sodium hydroxide with aluminum, sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate and hydrogen form. This reaction was used to produce hydrogen to fill air-ships and air balloons.
