Sodium hydroxide is a strong base that can cause serious chemical burns. It is commly known as soda lye and its caustic nature makes it effective for use in drain cleaners
But perhaps you mean why it can't be used as a leavening agent. Both baking powder (which contains sodium bicarbonate) an yeast act by producing carbon dioxide gas. Sodium hydroxide cannot yield carbon dioxide in a chemical reaction and can in fact react with it.
What else can I help you with?
How to tranform cupric sulfate to cupric hydroxide?
Put drops of Sodium, Potassium, or Ammonium Hydroxide in it. The Cupric hydroxide will precipitate out in blue colour. Dont put excess hydroxide or there will be a formation of another intense blue complex compound

5 acids: hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), nitric acid (HNO3), acetic acid (CH3COOH), phosphoric acid (H3PO4). 5 bases: sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), ammonia (NH3), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
Which year is sodium hydroxide invented?
I dont even know man
Copper sulphate plus sodium hydroxide?
When copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide are mixed, a blue precipitate of copper hydroxide is formed. This is because the hydroxide ions from sodium hydroxide react with the copper ions from copper sulfate to form the insoluble copper hydroxide. The net ionic equation for this reaction is Cu^2+ (aq) + 2OH^- (aq) → Cu(OH)2 (s).

Why my cup cakes dont raise well?
because you either have a cruddy recipe or can't cook. put more baking powder in.

How will a Fan assisted oven effect baking cakes and scones?
I find that whenever i bake with the fan on my cakes end up too done on the outside and not done enough inside. Dont know if its just me, but i always always always cook without the fan now, keep cakes in the bottom half of the oven and they always turn out lovely. I think if you dont have the option and have to use the fan just make sure you lower the temperature as the fan disperses the heat throughout the oven so it is consistently hot throuought.
