Since Hydroxide means water... I would use water and caustic soda. The water has lots of hydrogen and oxygen so the chemical reaction would release hydrogen in the process. (NaO, sodium oxide)

What does sodium and oxygen make?

Sodium and oxygen are combined to form some kind of oxide of sodium, but there are three different ones. The specific kind produced will be determined by the conditions under which oxidation occurs. When burned in air, sodium will form sodium peroxide(Na2O2). If there is a limited amount of oxygen, sodium oxide (Na2O) will form. Lastly, sodium superoxide (NaO2) will be produced if sodium is burned in oxygen under pressure. Wikipedia has some extra information, and a link is provided.sweat


What happens when Ferrous sulphate reacts with sodium hydroxide?

Sodium displaces the sulfate to make sodium sulfate; iron displaces the hydroxide to make ferrous hydroxide which becomes brown.


Why do people use sodium hydroxide for drains?

Sodium Hydroxide reacts with fat to make soap which then dissolves unblocking the drain.


The cost of making sodium hydroxide includes the cost of the raw materials used what other costs involved in making sodium hydroxide?

To make sodium hydroxide, you need to electrolyse the solution of sodium chloride. Electricity is needed for electrolysis and that will cost money. There will also be the cost of equipment such as electrodes. (Electrodes have to be replaced after a while). Lastly, there may also be the cost of labour. The men who make sodium hydroxide will need to get paid.


What happens if burnt sodium is exposed to oxygen?

Sodium and Lithium react so rapidly with air and water, that they must be contained under oil. Sodium burns rapidly in air, releasing heat and light energy. If you explore around YouTube for videos of this reaction, some may explode. This is the light and heat energy being given off. Equation: 4Na + O2 --> 2Na2O
