Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is a strong base. Vinegar, a weak acid, is dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH). When combined, they undergo a neutralization reaction producing water and the salt sodium acetate (NaCH3COO). The balanced chemical equation is written below.
NaOH(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) --> H2O(l) + NaCH3COO(aq)
No, vinegar should not be used to neutralize caustic soda on the skin. It can actually react with the caustic soda and worsen the burn. Rinse the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately.
When vinegar is added to baking soda, a chemical reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat, causing a slight increase in temperature.
Caustic soda, or sodium hydroxide, is a white solid.
Yes. Sodium hydroxide is the chemical name of caustic soda.
Another name for sodium hydroxide is caustic soda.

caustic soda
No - Bicarbonate of Soda is alkaline and will not remove the alkaline limescale. Vinegar is acidic and will therefore dissolve the alkaline limescale.
NaOH (Caustic soda)
Sodium hydroxide is the scientific name for caustic soda.
What can happen if baking soda and vinegar mix?
Caustic soda, or sodium hydroxide, is a white solid.
There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
Another name for caustic soda is sodium hydroxide.
Yes. Sodium hydroxide is the chemical name of caustic soda.
