Sodium hydroxide will raise the pH of water and do a few things. As the pH is raised above 7 it will begin to eliminate carbonic acid. (2NaOH + H2CO3 >> 2H20 + 2NaCO3)
Hard water is composed of a soluble form of calcium and magnesium and some iron. The calcium and magnesium are in the form of bicarbonates.
The sodium hydroxide pulls hydrogen from the bicarbonates and converts them to insoluble carbonates. They then fall to the floor of the treatment vessel.
(2 OH- + Ca(HCO3)2 >> 2H2O + CaCO3
Magnesium can take the place of Calcium in this reaction.
All of this caused by atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolving things like limestone.
Determination of the concentration of sodium hydroxide in solution with the help of a neutralization reaction.
Water is stored in a reservoir until needed. While stored, particles of dirt settle at the bottom. This helps to purify the water.
This eucalyptus ointment will help to purify the air.
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, has a very high pH, so it can be used to raise the pH of some mixture that is too acidic.
Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) can be used as solvent to help dissolve water insoluble compounds that have an acidic functional group. NaOH reacts with the acidic functional group and forms a water soluble salt. For example, consider R-COOH to be a water-insoluble carboxylic acid. When R-COOH is added to the aqueous NaOH, the following reaction occurs: R-COOH + NaOH(aq) -> R-COO- NA+ + OH- + H3O+ The above reaction produces R-COO- NA+ which is a water soluble salt. This process is sometimes called water solubility by salt formation.

Hydrochloric acid: yellow color Sodium hydroxide: brown color Sugar: unchanged
with the help of aquaguard
they purify it with the help of the process of filtration.
Sodium hydroxide has been linked to cancer of the esophagus. Its extremely corrosive and can cause internal hemorrhaging.
Water is stored in a reservoir until needed. While stored, particles of dirt settle at the bottom. This helps to purify the water.
An example of a hygroscopic salt would be calcium chloride, a salt that absorbs water from the atmosphere to form a saturated solution
chlorine kills off all bacteria within the water
Because it is a base and bases help to clean things.
Sodium hydroxide becomes very alkaline when dissolved in water, so it is used to neutralize the acidic pH imbalance caused by the other chemicals used in most toothpastes. Its common name is "lye" and it can be toxic if ingested. Therefore, toothpastes that contain sodium hydroxide often have a warning label that advises consumers to get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away "if more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed".
Ultraviolet rays kill harmful germs present in the water, hence purifying it.
Yes water lilies absorb nutrients that could cause algae bloom. They do help purify water.
