Will caustic soda burn car paintwork?
Probably to some extent. Oil based base paint is acidic in nature, so I imagine sodium hydroxide will break it down - but you will be removing it layer-by-layer this way. Causic soda (NaOH, or Sodium Hydroxide) is a strongly alkaline solution. Car paint is applied in a kind of large over. There is generally a base layer, and a finishing coat. If you plan on using caustic soda, remember it is called 'caustic' for a reason. It will cause painful chemical burns to your skin on contact. If you do come in contact with caustic soda, you should use a mild acid to neutralise it (like vinegar [ethanoic/acetic acid]) Trying to wash off caustic soda will only make matters worse. If you want to remove car paintwork, you are best applying some kind of solvent - for example, paint stripper. Preferably one that is specifically designed for the purpose. All such products are extremely volatile, and give off strong fumes - and are probably quite nasty. It is also possible to burn off paint, but again it probably results in toxic fumes. For those planning on vandalising someone's car, please don't. Vandalism is the activity of a mentally deficient, mindless, sub-peasant halfwit.
What does the alka seltzer do to water when mixed with oil?
It sucks my balls
How and when was crude oil formed?
The crude oil we use today was formed millions of years ago but crude oil is still being formed today. More crude oil is formed every time an animal or plant in the sea dies and is squashed by layers of other dead marine life (that turns into rock)over the top. This takes a long time.
Is magma oil?
No. Magma is molten rock with some gasses mixed in.
If oil is mixed with boiler feed water?
Oils and water are not miscible.
Can Oil and baking soda mix?

What are the products obtained by mixing caustic soda solution with vegetable oil?
This is just like the saponification of fats which produces soap.
Why do you use hydrated lime instead of caustic soda to stabilize the pH of oil based drilling mud?
to make calcium soap for activating the primary emulsifier
What type of colloid is formed when oil and water are mixed with alittle detergent?
Emulsion
What are the plants used in making soaps?
One of the plants is a palm tree. The oil is extracted as palm oil/ Palm oil is then boiled with caustic soda is large vats to produce sodium palmate ( a type of soap). Olive oil is another possibility. The commonest oil is stearic acid. to form sodium stearate.
Can baking soda clean copper?
Sure. It is best if the copper is clean of grease or oil, first. Sometimes the baking soda is mixed with vinegar instead of water, but either way it is a good cleaner.
How do you make biodiesel from janitor fish?
Fish oil needs an acid pretreatment because of the high %FFA. Then it needs drying and sometimes dewaxing. After this a standard biodiesel reaction with caustic soda will convert the fish oil into biodiesel. More you can read at: http://www.greenerpro.com/BiodieselProcess.html
What are the difference between the miscible and immiscible?
Miscible and immiscible are you to describe what happens when substances (usually liquids) are mixed together. If 2 layers are formed, like when oil is mixed with water, then the oil would be described as immiscible in water as it does not form a solution. If the two substances mix together and no layers are formed, like when orange squash is mixed with water, the we would say the orange squash is miscible in water as it has formed an orange solution.
What are the major industries in Iran?

How do you refine and bleach meat fats?
Find FFA by titration -find caustic amount by using formula: (FFA/100)*weight of oil/7.05 -dissolve caustic in water(more is better) -heat caustic and oil to 80C -carefully pour caustic water into oil with little to no adjatation, allowing a soap layer to form -allow soaps to settle -tap soap/water layer -heat oil to 110C -add 2-3% bleaching clay and mix for 15 min -filter
How do I remove dried linseed oil from a redwood table?
Caustic soda or oven cleaner. try on an underside area. ----------------------------------------- Unfortunatley, the linseed oil has probably eaten away the finish on the table. Most home-based remedies end up making it worse. You will probably have to sand and refinish the table.
