Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide, NaOH. It is a primary ingredient in drain cleaner and other household chemicals, and it's pretty nasty stuff. Caustic means corrosive, only corrosive applies to acids and caustic applies to bases. They essentially mean the same thing. Sodium hydroxide in its pure form is a white pellet-like solid, and in solution it's a strong base. It dissolves exothermically. It reacts vigorously with most acids and some metals. Reacting sodium hydroxide in aqueous solution with aluminum produces copious amounts of hydrogen gas.
