Ionic, purely
When an ester is reacted with NaOH, it undergoes hydrolysis to form the corresponding carboxylate salt and alcohol. The reaction is typically called saponification and is often used in the production of soap.
When a fatty acid is reacted with NaOH, a process called saponification occurs. This reaction results in the formation of soap, which is a salt of the fatty acid alongside glycerol. This reaction is commonly used in soap-making processes.
Yes, NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal cation (Na+) and a nonmetal anion (OH-). Ionic bonding occurs between these oppositely charged ions in the compound.
When NaOH dissolves in HCl, the NaOH molecules dissociate into Na+ and OH- ions, while the HCl molecules dissociate into H+ and Cl- ions. In the solution, the OH- ions from NaOH and the H+ ions from HCl combine to form water molecules. The Na+ and Cl- ions remain in the solution.
NaOH has the higher melting point. The reason is since NaOH is an ionic compound, thus meaning that the intermolecular forces (the forces that hold the compound together) between Sodium+ and Hydroxide- are ionic - ionic forces. The charges keep them together. Ionic forces are ALOT stronger than other intermolecular forces such as dispersion, dipole-dipole, or even hydrogen bonding. CH3OH (Methanol) has a lower melting point that Sodium Hydroxide since the intermolecular forces it entails are: Dispersion, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding between Hydrogen and Oxygen. It will take LESS energy to break these attractions, than the energy required to break the attraction forces between the ionic compound NaOH.
The alkali in NaOH would burn your skin.
Nothing.
2 NaOH(aq) + CO2(g) = Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)
At very high temperature NaOH is decomposed and Na2O fumes are emited.The reaction is:2 NaOH = Na2O = H2O

The general reaction of alcohols with NaOH is:R-O-H + NaOH = R-O-Na + H2O
valence electrons are shared in covalent bonding
HCl : makes it acidic. it decreases the pH NaOH : makes it alkaline. it increases the pH
Chemical Condensation.
The question appears to be: What happens if H2O is added to NaOH? NaOH will split into ionic molecules, and will heat up the water. In fact, adding water to NaOH is dangerous as it can cause splashes from extreme rise in temperatures.
