Caustic soda, scientifically known as sodium hydroxide, does not have a given pH. pH depends on both the strength of an acid or base and its concentration, meaning how much of it is dissolved in a given volume of water.
Since sodium hydroxide is a strong base the pH of a solution of it can be calculated fairly easily.
On a calculator the pH=14 + log(M), where M is the molar concentration of the sodium hydroxide.
Sodium carbonate is a strong alkaline substance with a pH of 11.6 for a 0.1 M aqueous solution.
The pH of washing soda is generally taken to be 11.Therefore it is alkaline. (pH<7,acidic pH>7,basic pH=7,neutral)
Soda ash is the common name used to sodium carbonate. Sodium carbonate is base substance. pH level of soda ash is about 10.
The solution is basic.
The pH is over 7,0.
Solution of sodium bicarbonate is a little alkaline.
Caustic soda has a high pH in water solution.
it is a base. So it is greater than <7
A normal or neutral pH level is 7. Caustic soda is highly basic with a pH of between 13.5 and 15. Caustic soda is a dangerous base and should be handled carefully.
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
It can be either. Two examples would be: Caustic soda (Sodium Hydroxide), which is very alkaline. Caustic potash (Potassium Hydroxide), which is very acidic.
Caustic potash is potassium hydroxide (KOH) Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
Items that have a pH of 14 are the least acidic. Caustic soda, cucumbers, radishes, squash, and liquid drain cleaner all have a pH of 14. There are more, obviously, but these are just a few.

A cleaner containing caustic soda would be described as basic, and its pH would be low, like 2 or so. Caustic soda is a pretty active (strong) base. Compare this to the pH of a neutral substance, which is 7, or an acid which is greater than 7, and the higher it is, the stronger the acid.

caustic soda
caustic soda is used to eliminate Mercaptans from hydrocarbons (GPL, Kerosene, ...).it is used also as an injection the desalter (crude distillation unit) to raise PH (reduce corrosion).
Caustic potash is potassium hydroxide (KOH) Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH)

NaOH is called caustic soda because of its corrosive action,.
caustic
There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
Yes. caustic soda, scientifically known as sodium hydroxide, is often called lye. However, lye ma also refer to potassium hydroxide (caustic potash).
