As with all hydroxides it is an alkali.
Alkali. IF something contains hydroxide ions it is an alkali.
Alkali
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali, not an acid.
Sodium hydroxide ia an alkali
To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.
Hydrochloric Acid would be the stronger acid, as Sodium Hydroxide is an alkali.
Hydrochloric Acid would be the stronger acid, as Sodium Hydroxide is an alkali.
I believe it is an alkali ( base ) and that alkali is sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
Sodium Hydroxide and Sulphuric Acid!
Example 1: Acid - Hydrochloric acid - HCl Alkali - Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O Example 2: Acid - Hydrochloric acid - HCl Alkali - Magnesium Hydroxide - Mg(OH)2 Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water 2HCl + Mg(OH)2 -> MgCl2 + 2H2O
Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali. Therefore it can be neutralized by using a strong acid such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid.
Hydroxides are bases.
