Anything with 'hydroxide' on the end of it is an alkali.
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali. It is a strong base that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions, which can accept protons and neutralize acids.
Sodium is neither an acid nor an alkali in water. When sodium is dissolved in water, it forms sodium hydroxide (a strong alkali) and hydrogen gas. Sodium itself is a metal and is not considered acidic or alkaline in its pure form.
To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.
Sodium Hydroxide Solution is a a strong Alkali with a pH reading of 13.
Sodium sulfate is formed when sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This reaction results in sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and water (H2O) as the products.
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali, not an acid.

hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide

Hydochloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide
Sodium Hydroxide Solution is a a strong Alkali with a pH reading of 13.
Sodium sulfate is formed when sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This reaction results in sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and water (H2O) as the products.
Any Group(I) metal alkali Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) The commonest) Potassium hydroxide (KOH) Rubiudium hydroxide (RbOH) Caesium hydroxide (CsOH) Also Group(II) metal hydroxides #e.g. Calcium hydroxide ( Ca(OH)2 ). The will all neutralise hydrochloric acid Here is the general eq'n MOH + HCl = MCl + H2O ( where 'M' is the given metal).
Sodium peroxide is a strong alkali. It is a yellow-white solid that is highly reactive with water, releasing oxygen and forming sodium hydroxide.
Drain cleaner is typically an alkali. It contains strong alkaline compounds such as lye (sodium hydroxide) or potash (potassium hydroxide) that help break down organic materials and clear clogs in drains.
No, it is basic, but is just as dangerous as a strong acid.
