How do you dissolve caustic soda that has solidified in pipe?
Very Carefully! :) Use dilute acid.(the process is faster when you use strong acid). Attention: Use proper googles and safety globes.
What is biological effectiveness and benefit in use of caustic soda?
As posed, your question has no obvious meaning, particularly "biological effectiveness". Benefit is also a relative term, you have to compare to something else. What? Also, precisely what use had you in mind? Caustic soda has very many uses.
Is caustic soda flakes use replace of caustic potassium hydroxide flakes?
Generally is possible, but this strongly depends on the type of use. For example soaps with NaOH are solids and soaps with KOH are liquids.
Can you use caustic soda in your pool?
Why do you need costic soda? Be extremely careful with this stuff - it's bad and not too forgiving to the skin or eyes. Ken
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 is caustic use for?
There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
Can you use caustic soda to clean paint brushes?
No, use the thinner recommended on the paint can, or hot, soapy water. I don't ever recall seeing caustic soda mentioned in this context.
What does adding caustic soda to water raise or lower the pH?
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
What lye between caustic soda and caustic potash is good for making bath soap?
You will want to use potassium hydroxide.
