Sodium is an alkali metal. All alkali metals have 1 electron in the valence shell. This means that the "desired state" is to have a full valence shell configuration. So, in order for sodium and other alkali metals to reach this state, it has to LOSE one electron, making it a positive ion (cation).

How do you prepare sodium succinate buffer?
To prepare a sodium succinate buffer, dissolve sodium succinate in water to reach the desired concentration. Adjust the pH to the desired level using a strong acid like hydrochloric acid or a strong base like sodium hydroxide. Finally, dilute the solution to the desired volume with water and mix well.
How do you prepare sodium citrate buffer?
To prepare a sodium citrate buffer, dissolve the desired amount of sodium citrate and citric acid in water. Adjust the pH using a strong base or acid to reach your desired pH level. Finally, bring the solution to the desired volume with water.
What is a boardinghouse reach?

How do you make sodium bicarbonate Test Solution not in USP?
By dissolving in water the necessary quantity to obtain the desired concentration of sodium bicarbonate.
How do you get a neutral solution starting from sodium hydroxide?
To obtain a neutral solution from sodium hydroxide, you would need to add a suitable acid in the right proportion to neutralize the excess base. By titrating with an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, you can gradually decrease the pH until the solution becomes neutral (pH 7). It's important to carefully monitor the pH during the titration to ensure you reach the desired neutral state.
