Mix it slowly in a glass, HDPE, or stainless container and use all safety equipment (gloves, eyewear, and ventilation). Always add powder to the liquid and if it gets hot to the touch, slow down.
Both chemicals absorb water from the atmosphere, so choose your location and the day appropriately.

Preparation of 0 38 M sodium acetate solution?
how will you prepare 0.38M sodium acetate solution
What would you expect to happen if sodium methoxide were added to water?
The methoxide ion would steal a hydrogen ion from water, forming sodium hydroxide and methanol. CH3ONa + H2O --> CH3OH + NaOH
Why should sodium methoxide 25 percent in methanol be kept tightly closed when not in use?
Firstly, sodium methoxide is extremely toxic, so you want to handle it carefully without ever spilling (e.g. from an unsealed container). Secondly, methanol is hygroscopic and will pick up lots of water from the atmosphere. Water will hydrolyze sodium methoxide into methanol and sodium hydroxide. You wouldn't want your methanol to evaporate either.
Would the alkoxide form if an hydroxide was dissolved in methanol?
No. Alkoxide ions are stronger bases than hydroxide ions. The only way of making an alkoxide is by reacting a hihgly reactive metal such as sodium with the corresponding alcohol (react sodium with methanol to produce sodium methoxide). In water sodium methoxide will react to produce sodium hydroxide and methanol.
What is rection of 1-chlorobutane with sodium ethoxide?
Cl-CH3_CH2_CH2_CH3+C2H5oNa_> C6H15o+
Is sodium methoxide solution soluble in toluene?
Preperation ofIsoxazole Ester by using sodium methoxide, diethyl oxalate and ...
What is the reaction between Hydrazoic acid and Sodium methoxide solution?
sodium azide + methanol
How do you get sodium methoxide from sodium hydroxide and methanol?
NaOH + CH3OH --> CH3ONa + H2O Evaporate the solution to dryness, add more CH3OH and evaporate to dryness. you can repeat a few times to ensure the remaining solid is sodium methoxide
What happens if sodium methoxide 25 percent in methanol reacts with water?
The sodium methoxide reacts with the water to produce sodium hydroxide an methanol.
Preparation of 0 38 M sodium acetate solution?
how will you prepare 0.38M sodium acetate solution
How do you prepare 1000ppm sodium solution from sodium chloride?
A sodium solution of water cannot be made as sodium reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide.
What would you expect to happen if sodium methoxide were added to water?
The methoxide ion would steal a hydrogen ion from water, forming sodium hydroxide and methanol. CH3ONa + H2O --> CH3OH + NaOH
Why use sodium chloride for medicine?
Sodium chloride is used to prepare the 0,9 % isotonic solution.
Why should sodium methoxide 25 percent in methanol be kept tightly closed when not in use?
Firstly, sodium methoxide is extremely toxic, so you want to handle it carefully without ever spilling (e.g. from an unsealed container). Secondly, methanol is hygroscopic and will pick up lots of water from the atmosphere. Water will hydrolyze sodium methoxide into methanol and sodium hydroxide. You wouldn't want your methanol to evaporate either.
How do you prepare buffer solution?
To prepare a buffer solution which may be acidic. Titrate ethanoic acid (weak acid) with sodium ethanoate(salt).
Which is the stronger base what Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide?
Potassium Hydroxide is stronger than sodium hydroxide
Would the alkoxide form if an hydroxide was dissolved in methanol?
No. Alkoxide ions are stronger bases than hydroxide ions. The only way of making an alkoxide is by reacting a hihgly reactive metal such as sodium with the corresponding alcohol (react sodium with methanol to produce sodium methoxide). In water sodium methoxide will react to produce sodium hydroxide and methanol.
