No, sodium hydroxide is a strong base so its pH must be higher than 7.

What are the differences in the results produced by iron II chloride and sodium hydroxide and iron III chloride and the same amount of sodium hydroxide?

Both hydroxides formed are insoluble in water.Fe(OH)2 is formed at pH=7-9.Fe(OH)3 is formed at pH=2-4.


Which out of hydrchloric acid or sodium hydroxide has a higher pH?

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base with the chemical formula NaOH. Ammonia water is usually a solution of NH3 and H2O mixed together to form NH4OH,. This is usually the stuff people clean with and is also a strong base. Ammonia (the gas) is just NH3.


Can NaOH and pepsin cause digestion?

No is the answer. Sodium hydroxide is is such a strong alkali that it will 'burn' the cells just like acid does. So it is not found in body. Instead you have sodium bi carbonate. But you have very strong acid in stomach. Hydrochloric acid. Imagine acidity go on increasing ten times as you go from 6 to 5 and 5 to 4. And pH in stomach is 1 to 2. (Why does not stomach is 'not' charred at this pH ?) Pepsin works in high acidic pH only and almost stop working at 5.5 pH. So no question of digestion in sodium hydroxide, which is strong alkali with very high pH. If you lower the pH pepsin starts working again.

What is formed when Excess of sodium hydroxide react with zinc?

This reaction is to be carried out with Sodium hydroxide dissolved in water and Zinc oxide. The product is Sodium Tetrahydroxidozincate(2-) or Simply Sodium Zincate.ZnO + 2 NaOH + H2O ----> Na2Zn(OH)4


What is the predicted effect on the reaction of zinc nitrate and excess sodium hydroxide?

The reaction of zinc nitrate and excess sodium hydroxide begins with precipitation of zinc hydroxide ( Zn(OH)2 ), followed by dissolvement after adding excess sodium hydroxide ( 2 OH- ) to formation of zinc aat-ions ( [Zn(OH)4]2- )
