Yep, because....
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as caustic soda, is a caustic metallic base. Pure sodium hydroxide is a white solid available in pellets, flakes, granules, and as a 50% saturated solution. It is hygroscopic and readily absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. Sodium hydroxide is neutralized with hydrochloric acid to produce the soluble salt sodium chloride in solution. This solution is then concentrated and crystallized to produce sodium chloride crystals.Sodium hydroxide is predominantly ionic, containing sodium cations and hydroxide anions. The hydroxide anion makes sodium hydroxide a strong base which reacts with acids to form water and the corresponding salts. Sodium hydroxide reacts with protic acids to give water and the corresponding salts. This type of reaction with a strong acid releases heat, and hence is referred to as exothermic. Such acid-base reactions can also be used for titrations. However, sodium hydroxide is not used as a primary standard because it is hygroscopic and absorbs carbon dioxide from air.

What is HCl NaOH H2O is it Salt?
HCl is an acid which reacts with NaOH a base to produce H2O water and a salt - in this case NaCl HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
What is a hydroscopic salt?
NaOH - sodium hydroxide
Is ibuprofen soluble in 1.0 M NaOH?
yes,it is soluble,as it makes sodium salt with NaOH.
Is BaSO4 a Salt or Base or Acid?
No. BaSO4 is a salt. NaOH is a base.
NaOH is an example of?
NaOH is a base. HCl is an acid. NaCl is a salt. H2O is an oxide.

What is the formula of sodium salt for hydrochloric acid?
NaOH
Is NaOH a acid base or salt?
NaOH is a base.As it gives hydroxyl ion in water acc to arrehenious concept.
What salt is produced by mixing NaOH and HNO3?
NaNO3 and water
What is the salt formed by NaOH and HCl?
Sodium Chloride - NaCl
What are the products when you add H2SO4 to NaOH?
Salt plus Water. In this case the salt would be Sodium Sulphate.
Is NaOH a base or a salt?
Actually NaOH is a salt of a metal ion (Na+) and a strong base (OH-) like stated here below: "The OH- signifies that it is a base."By the way: NaCl is not the base, like stated here below, but a neutral salt (= Metal with nonmetal)Original answer:It is a strong base.A salt is a Metal with a nonmetal. This is polyatomic with a metal (which can be a salt as well).Also it will disassociate into OH- and Na+ ions. The OH- signifies that it is a base.Also it is good to remember that if you had the an acid react with NaOH it would produce a salt and water, since it would be acid base reaction. This further shows that NaOH is a base. In the equation below NaCl is the base. And just in case you need to know. There is no conjugate acid for NaOH because it is extremely strong base.Example:HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ---> NaCl(aq) + H2O(L)
