It doesn't matter if the substance is basic or acidic. What makes a substance destructive is the strength of the substance.
Draino is mostly caustic soda which is a base.
Caustic acid, also known as sodium hydroxide, is commonly used in various industrial processes such as manufacturing, cleaning, and chemical synthesis. It is used in industries like paper production, wastewater treatment, and soap making. Additionally, it can be found in household products like drain cleaners and oven cleaners.
No, caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a strong base, not an acid. It is highly alkaline in nature and is commonly used in various industrial and household applications for its ability to neutralize acids.
A cleaner containing caustic soda would be described as basic, and its pH would be low, like 2 or so. Caustic soda is a pretty active (strong) base. Compare this to the pH of a neutral substance, which is 7, or an acid which is greater than 7, and the higher it is, the stronger the acid.
Lye (sodium hydroxide) is a stronger base than battery acid (sulfuric acid) in terms of chemical strength and aggressiveness. Lye is highly caustic and can cause severe burns on contact with skin, while battery acid is corrosive but not as immediately damaging.
acids in cucumber are caustic acid and this acid have much energy.
Draino is mostly caustic soda which is a base.
No. Sodium hydroxide ( NaOH ) is a strong base.
There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
KOH - potassium hydroxide or caustic potash and HCl hydrochloric Acid
It can be either. Two examples would be: Caustic soda (Sodium Hydroxide), which is very alkaline. Caustic potash (Potassium Hydroxide), which is very acidic.
No, sulfuric acid is toxic and caustic.
Acids typically react with caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) to form water and a salt. The acid donates a proton (H+) to the hydroxide ion (OH-) in caustic soda, resulting in the formation of water (H2O) and a salt specific to the acid used. This reaction is known as neutralization.

No. acids are corrosive, alkalis are caustic.
Your caustic remarks remain unappreciated.
Phosphoric acid is considered to be caustic in concentrated forms, causing skin and eye irritation upon contact. However, when diluted to household levels for use in food and beverages, it is safe for consumption and is generally considered non-caustic.
