NaOH gives Na(aq.) and OH-(aq).....
the heat of formation for sodium hydroxide is -425.6 kJ/mol (so it's exothermic).
When you dissolve NaOH in water, the reaction is exothermic. But this is dissociation, the opposite of formation. So logically, you would flip the sign around for the heat of formation to get the enthalpy change of the dissociation, right? But if you do, the enthalpy change becomes +425.6 kJ/mol, which means that it is endothermic. However, the dissolving of NaOH in water releases heat to the environment, so it's exothermic!

How do acids react with caustic soda?
A strong acid and strong base (caustic soda ) reaction produces a salr and water. NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O
Who is chemical neutralized caustic soda?
A strong acid would do. We will show sulfuric acid doing this. 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O The reaction produces a slat, sodium sulfate, and water and is called a neutralization reaction.
What is the name given to a reaction the gives off energy?
A reaction that gives off energy is an exothermic reaction. The reaction will give off energy in the form of either heat or light An example of an exothermic reaction would be the curing of concrete. One chemical reaction that will give off heat is the mixture of Caustic Soda and water. The water dissolves the Caustic Soda which in turn generates heat. There are two types of reactions. Exothermic reactions give off heat, and endothermic reactions require that heat be added to make them work. Be careful with exothermic reactions. A rapid, energetic exothermic reaction is called an "explosion".
Why it is advisable not to pick sodium with fingers?
sodium reacts violently reacts with water often catching fire and exploding this reaction produces sodium hydroxide a strong and caustic base
Does acid plus caustic soda plus water cause an explosion?
Let's try hydrochloric acid here and see. NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O No. It causes a neutralization reaction producing a salt and more water!

A sentence for caustic?
Caustic can mean sarcastic or scathing or it can mean able to burn organic tissue by chemical reaction. The solution was caustic enough to burn through clothing. Her caustic comments made the other girl feel bad.
What is causticizing?
Causticization is the chemical reaction that "reactivates" or "regenerates" a caustic reactive solution. This is used in industry so as to allow companys to reuse the reactive solution and save money. The raw materials for caustic solutions are expensive (NaOH and purified water)

What happens when you mix caustic soda with sodium chloride?
Any reaction occur in this case.
