Simple, it can kill you with a little overdose.
because sodium is more reactive than carbon and therefore a displacement reaction cannot take place- which would normally separate sodium from its ore.
it is sometimes used to preserve meats... but more importantly it can be used for cleaning. Hope I helped.
sodium is more reactive that iron
The compounds of sodium are soluble that is why it is used.
Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the formula NaClO. Sodium hypochlorite solution, commonly known as bleach, is frequently used as a disinfectant and as a bleaching agent.See the Web Links below for more information.
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. Drinking pentobarbital would cause severe stomach cramps and vomiting, a great deal of pain, and may or may not be lethal.
Pentobarbital is a short acting barbiturate that is available as both a free acid and a sodium salt, the former of which is only slightly soluble in water and ethanol. One trade name for this drug is Nembutal®, coined by Dr. John S. Lundy, who started using it in 1930, from the structural formula of the sodium salt-Na (sodium) + ethyl + methyl + butyl + al (common suffix for barbiturates). Pentobarbital's FDA approved human uses include treatment of seizures and preoperative (and other) sedation; it is also approved as a short-term hypnotic. In France, it is used in the treatment of insomnia, and as a preanesthetic. http://www.answers.com/topic/pentobarbital-sodium?cat=health
Most vets use an injection of Sodium Pentobarbital in a vein. The Humane Society of the US is one of the agencies trying to get all municipal shelters to use Pentobarbital.
Pentobarbital (Nembutal) has been used in neurosurgery to reduce blood flow to the brain. This reduces swelling and pressure in the brain, making brain surgery safer.
Typically, three drugs are used in succession to perform euthanasia: Sodium thiopental is used to induce unconsciousness; Pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) to cause muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest; and Potassium chloride to stop the heart.
A painless injection, that puts the animal "to sleep" as they say. Injection of an OD with sodium pentobarbital is preferred. However several other methods less humane are used including gas chambers.
Pentobarbital and alcohol are 2 separate drugs. pentobarbital is a barbituate drug, which is like a sedative/hypnotic drug and of course you know what alcohol is.
Being a barbiturate, it is a controlled substance in the U.S. However, it is most commonly prescribed by veterinarians for animals that have seizure disorders, or after some surgeries.

sodium is used for cooking or sodium hycloptorite is used for killing bacteria and is found in bleach
