Sodium is relatively inexpensive, as it is widely available and commonly used in many products. The cost of sodium can vary depending on the form in which it is purchased (e.g. table salt, sodium bicarbonate), but generally it is an affordable commodity.

Why Lithium or potassium metal are not used instead of sodium during the preparation of sodium extract solution why?

While lithium and potassium are also alkali metals like sodium, they are more expensive and less commonly available in comparison to sodium. Sodium, being more abundant and cost-effective, is preferred for the preparation of sodium extract solution. Additionally, the reactivity of lithium and potassium is higher than sodium, making them more challenging to handle in this context.


Which is more expensive sodium chloride or calcium chloride?

Calcium chloride is generally more expensive than sodium chloride. This is because calcium chloride is less abundant and requires more complex extraction processes compared to sodium chloride, which is commonly found in salt deposits and seawater. Additionally, calcium chloride is often used in industrial applications that command a higher price.


How is sodium metal prepared?

Using Downs process, by the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. This is done in a Downs Cell in which the NaCl is mixed with calcium chloride to lower the melting point below 700 °C. As calcium is less electropositive than sodium, no calcium will be deposited at the cathode. This method is less expensive than the previous Castner process of electrolyzing sodium hydroxide.
