What else can I help you with?
What reaction can be performed to tell the difference between sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide?
A litmus test is one way of comparing. Sodium Chloride is a neutral salt and so would have no effect on litmus. Sodium Hydroxide is a base, and would turn litmus blue.
What element was isolated in 1808 by Sir Humphry davy?
Sodium. Humphry Davy succeeded in isolating sodium by electrolyzing molten sodium hydroxide in 1807.
Why phenolphthalein is chosen as the suitable indicator for sodium hydroxide?
Phenolphthalein is chosen as a suitable indicator for sodium hydroxide because its color change occurs in the pH range around 8.2 to 10.0, which is close to the pH range of the equivalence point for the titration of a strong base like sodium hydroxide with a strong acid. This allows for a sharp and easily detectable color change at the endpoint of the titration.
What is the pH number of sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide does not have a pH number. The pH of a solution of sodium hydroxide depends entirely on the concentration of it in that solution. To learn how to determine the pH of a sodium hydroxide solution, see the Related Questions links.
Is sodium hydroxide a chemical?
Yes. Sodium Hydroxide is a chemical. It is an Alkaline because its pH is 14 which is obviously over 7. Further Detail Still: An Acid will have a pH of under 7 and an Alkaline will have a pH of over 7. A pH scale is how you tell how acidic or alkaline something is by using colours.
What can you tell about the element sodium by looking at the periodic table?
1. Sodium is in the first group of the periodic table and in the period 3; it is an alkali metal. 2. Sodium is a solid metal, forming monovalent cations. 3. Sodium is very chemically reactive. 4. The atomic weight of sodium is not great. 5. The density of sodium is not great. 6. The chemical symbol of sodium is Na. 7. Sodium hydroxide is a strong and corrosive base.
What is the safest way to tell the difference between vinegar and sodium hydroxide?
The safest way to tell the difference between vinegar and sodium hydroxide(NaOH) is litmus paper test as vinegar is acidic while NaOH is basic in nature. So vinegar will turn blue litmus paper to red and NaOH will turn red litmus paper to blue. We can also check vinegar by tasting because it contains acetic acid which is a weak acid and would taste sour. But sodium hydroxide is a very strong base and may cause severe burns if not handled with care. Do not attempt to taste NaOH as it will cause severe health problems.
Please name me the acids bases and salts we use in daily life and also tell me their scientific names?
vinegar (acetic acid) - weak acid window cleaner (ammonia hydroxide) - base table salt (sodium chloride) - salt lemon juice (citric acid) - acid drain cleaner (sodium hydroxide) - strong base bath salts (magnesium sulfate) - salt
Name the alkali metals?
List of Alkali: Lithium hydroxide Sodium hydroxide Potassium hydroxide Rubidium hydroxide Caesium hydroxide Francium hydroxide Strontium hydroxide Barium hydroxide Ammonium hydroxide Calcium hydroxide Magnesium hydroxide
What is an example of an alkali?
An alkali is a base in an aqueous solution. It is also a proton acceptor, that is it readily gains H+ ions. Examples of alkalis include NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide), NH3(Ammonia) and KOH (Potassium Hydroxide). Anything that disassociates in solution to make a positive ion plus an OH- ion can be classed as an alkali.
Is sodium metal or nonmetal tell you?
Sodium is an alkali metal.
Will sodium dioxide dissolve in water?
First of all the compound is improperly named, the greek prefix is not used when naming an ionic compound (A combination of a metal and a nonmetal) I believe the compound in question is actually sodium peroxide NaO2. The answer to this question is quite simple the solubility rules tell us that all salts of the alkali metal cations are soluble in water (Sodium is an alkali metal).
