no, and sodium hydroxide is dangerous, fyi. sodium hydroxide is NaOH, (the OH dissociates so it's basic -really basic) and i suppose sodium hydrogen carbonate would look something like this: NaHCO_4

No they are very different substances; to begin with, they have very different names.

NaOH (aq), Sodium hydroxide, is a strong base, meaning it fully disassociates in aqueos solution, and leaves a high concentration of OH- ions. NaOH is very caustic.

NaHCO3 is Sodium hydrogen carbonate, also known as "Baking soda" or "Sodium bicarbonate".

No-- Both were used in certain sorts of cleaning, but are chemically quite different.

One is NaOH :

* lye, a caustic soda used in older detergents, paint strippers, aluminum refining, and the refining of bio-diesel.

and the other is Na2SO4 :

* a byproduct of of sulfuric acid production, used in older detergents, textile dye process, aids in manufacture of methamphetamine
