Because sodium hydroxide is deliquescence and will absorb carbon dioxide from the air if exposed to it, therefore the weighing is performed in weighing bottles and not in the open, like on a piece of paper.

The chemical name is Sodium Hydroxide. It is made of Na+ ions and OH- ions.
Potassium Hydroxide is stronger than sodium hydroxide
Copper chloride + Sodium hydroxide --> Copper hydroxide + sodium chloride
Calcium sulphate + Sodium hydroxide > Sodium sulphate + Calcium hydroxide

Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda or lye) is caustic and as a result it will destroy or irreversibly damage another substance with which it comes into contact including skin!. It is reactive to aluminum so be careful if you are using it to make soap. If you will be working with sodium hydroxide always keep a bottle of vinegar near by since water will not stop the corrosive effects only an acid.
The symbol for Sodium Hydroxide is NaoH
