caustic
What type of alkali is in washing powder?
The most commonly used alkalis in washing powder are caustic soda and caustic potash. They are chemically produced by running electricity through salt water.
Which alkali is used to open a drain?
Sodium Hydroxide, also called caustic soda or lye.
Is metal hydroxide hazardous?
Depending on the specific hydroxide; for example, hydroxides of the alkali metals are very caustic and dangerous.
What are Muriatic acid neutralizers?
Muriatic acid (known also as hydrochloric acid) is neutralized by titration (mixing) with an alkali. Easily obtained alkalis are caustic soda, caustic potash etc. You can see the need for care when handling these strong corrosive chemicals.

Soap making ingredients?
Soap is a salt of fatty acids derived from plant/animal oils/fats and metallic alkalis. Water is needed to dissolve alkali, so that the reaction can take place. Therefore the basic soap-making ingredients are: Plant/animal oIls and/or fats Strong alkali (caustic potash - KOH, caustic soda - NaOH) - needed for Water (distilled preferably)
What is Chlor-alkali formula?
The mixture of Chlor and hydrxide (alkali, OH- from caustic soda, lye, NaOH) reacts to formation of NaOCl and NaCl. Cl2 + 2OH- --> OCl- + Cl- + H2O This is probably what is meant by 'chlor-alkali', nothing else than bleach (3-6% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO))
What is the meaning of Alkali?
Soda ash; caustic soda, caustic potash, etc., One of a class of caustic bases, such as soda, potash, ammonia, and lithia, whose distinguishing peculiarities are solubility in alcohol and water, uniting with oils and fats to form soap, neutralizing and forming salts with acids, turning to brown several vegetable yellows, and changing reddened litmus to blue.
