Name the solution formed when sodium is added to water?
sodium hydroxide solution
Does sodium hydroxide release protons when added to water?
No. Sodium hydroxide releases hydroxide ions, which actually take protons out of the solution. This qualifies sodium hydroxide as a base.
Explain what happens when sodium hydroxide solution is added to ammonium hydroxide?
No reaction takes place. pH of the solution increase.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to copper sulphate solution?
Nothing
Is copper soluble in sodium hydroxide?
Metallic copper does not react with sodium hydroxide. But if sodium hydroxide is added into a solution of copper ions, it would form Copper(II) Hydroxide. It is a precipitate which is insoluble in water.
What happens when iron oxide is added to sodium hydroxide solution?
anything important
Describe a solution that contains a buffer?
Acetic acid is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change. Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change.
which of the following best describes a solution that contains a buffer?
sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change.
What happen when sodium hydroxide is added drop wise to a solution containing phenolphthalein?
It Turns Pink.
What happens if you mix distilled water and sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide simply becomes ionized in water, no reaction will occur. And the concentration of NaOH will be reduced, if enough water is added.
Why is sodium hydroxide is sometimes added to a vial of anesthetic solution?
There are times when bacteria, acidify an infected site, therefore adding sodium hydroxide will neutralize the region for a basic site.
Copper reacts with sodium hydroxide?
Copper metal itself does not react with sodium hydroxide. But when NaOH is added to a solution of copper ions, it would form a light blue precipitate, which is copper(II) hydroxide, and will NOT dissolve with the excess alkali.
