NaOH is Sodium Hydroxide ( Caustic Soda / Lye). It is an alkali.
In solid form it is a white crystalline solid. In liquid form it is colourless oily liquid, corrosive to the touch.
As an alkali it has a pH ~ 12 .
An Alkali is is a soluble base. The BASIC Component is sodium oxide (Na2O) which has been dissolved in water.
Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH.
It contains ;
1 atom of sodium (Na ; latin for Nadium)
1 atom, of oxygen (O)
1 atom of hydrogen (H)
To distinguish them from acids , alkalis are always written '--OH'. whereas acids are always written as 'H---'.
Lye (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) is a pure substance compound. It is composed of sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).
Yes, sodium hydroxide is a powerful alkali.
Dissolve 4g of solid NaOH in water and then dilute to the 1L final volume to make a 0.1M solution. Be sure to wear appropriate protective gear and handle NaOH with care, as it is a caustic substance.
To prepare 1 mM NaOH solution, you would dissolve 0.040 g of NaOH in enough water to make 1 liter of solution. This concentration is equivalent to 1 millimole of NaOH per liter of solution. Be cautious when handling NaOH as it is a caustic substance.
To prepare a 30% NaOH solution, you would mix 30 grams of NaOH with enough water to make 100 grams of final solution. Be sure to use caution when handling NaOH as it is a caustic substance and can cause skin and eye irritation.

No, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) should not be poured down the drain as it is a corrosive substance that can cause damage to pipes and the environment.
NaOH (s) refers to solid sodium hydroxide, which is in a solid state. NaOH (aq) refers to sodium hydroxide dissolved in water, resulting in an aqueous solution. The (s) and (aq) notations distinguish between the physical states of the substance.

To prepare a 0.1N NaOH solution, dissolve 4g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) pellets in enough water to make 1 liter of solution. Use a volumetric flask to accurately measure the final volume. Remember to handle NaOH with caution as it is a caustic substance.
