Yes it can. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is an alkali, producing hydroxide (OH-) ions in solution, which will react with hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid to form water (H2O) in a neutralisation reaction. It is commonly used in acid-base titrations, for example by using a known concentration of Sodium Hydroxide to determine the concentration of an sample of acid.

Which is stronger solution vinegar or sodium hydroxide?

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is stronger than vinegar (acetic acid) in terms of pH and its ability to donate hydroxide ions. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, while vinegar is a weak acid. In terms of corrosiveness and reactivity, sodium hydroxide is much more dangerous and must be handled with care.


Is physical or chemical reaction takes place when sodium hydroxide mixed with water?

It is a physical change. The sodium hydroxide dissolves, but it is still sodium hydroxide.


What will happen when caustic soda gets mixed with sodium hydroxide?

Caustic soda and sodium hydroxide are actually the same compound with different names (sodium hydroxide). When mixed, they will just form a homogeneous mixture of sodium hydroxide without any chemical reaction occurring.

Is sucrose soluble in sodium hydroxide?

No, sucrose is not soluble in sodium hydroxide without water.


What happens to Copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide when mixed together?

When copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide are mixed together, a double displacement reaction occurs. The copper ions from copper sulfate react with hydroxide ions from sodium hydroxide to form a blue precipitate of copper hydroxide. The resulting solution will contain sodium sulfate.

Can lactic acid sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid be mixed together?

yes but sodium hydroxide will be neutralized by one or both acids


What term is used to describe sodium hydroxide?

There is not a term used to described sodium hydroxide. If it is mixed with another element it would be referred to as hydrolysis.


What happens when you mix SODIUM HYDROXIDE and Bromothymol blue?

When sodium hydroxide is mixed with bromothymol blue, the solution turns blue due to the alkaline nature of sodium hydroxide. This indicates a basic pH level.


Why does sodium hydroxide have a higher pH than vinegar?

Although no particular pH value can be assigned to a substance the answer would be yes in this case. Since sodium hydroxide is a base it will produce a pH greater than 7 while vinegar, which contains an acid, has a pH less than 7.
