Sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfate don't actually react.


What happens if you mix sodium hydrogen and calcium hydroxide as a liquid?

Sodium react with water and release hydrogen.Sodium hydroxide is also formed. Calcium hydroxide remain unchanged.


Which reaction occurs when sodium metal react with water?

A violent reaction: sodium hydroxide is formed and hydrogen released.


What happens when magnesium hydroxide reacts with sodium?

Nothing. Pardon my frankness but magnesium won't react with sodium hydroxide because sodium hydroxide is a strong alkali. The reactivity series shows that sodium is stronger than magnesium so it won't react. Magnesium will reduce sodium hydroxide to sodium 2Mg + 2NaOH --> 2MgO + 2Na + H2


What happens when all metal dissolve in alkalis like sodium hydroxide?

Some metals react with alkalis; for example the reaction of aluminium with sodium hydroxide is:2 Al + 2 NaOH + 2 H2O = 2 NaAlO2 + 3 H2


What happens if you eat sodium metal?

The sodium will react violently, even explosively with moisture in the mouth with, producing hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. The heat of the reaction will melt the sodium and ignite the hydrogen. The sodium hydroxide will cause severe cemical burns and the heat from the reacting sodium and burning hydrogen with cause severe thermal burns.


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.


Will aluminium react with sodium bicarbonate?

Aluminium doesn't react with sodium bicarbonate.Aluminium react with sodium hydroxide.


Why CaO is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide?

CaO is not expected to react with sodium hydroxide because sodium is more reactive than calcium.


What salt is made when sodium hydroxide reacts with hydroxide acid?

There is no reaction. "Hydroxide acid" is water, which does not react with sodium hydroxide.


What happens when lead reacts with sodium hydroxide?

Nothing will happen because Sodium Hydroxide is a strong alkali. Lead is not as strong as Sodium Hydroxide, so it will not react.


What is the reaction of metals with water?

metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen For example: Sodium + Water = Sodium Hydroxide + hydrogen
