Any acid can be used to neutralize a base such as sodium hydroxide. If you have a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide, you could neutralize it most efficiently with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. You can also neutralize it with Coca Cola, or vinegar, or many other acidic chemicals, but it would require a larger amount than if you used hydrochloric acid.

What chemicals will neutralise an acid?

any base like sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide etc.


What substance produces hydroxide ions in solution?

All bases, or proton receivers. The definition of a base is that it either introduces hydroxide ions into solution because hydroxide ions are part of the compound, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or that it takes a proton (Hydrogen cation) away from water in solution, therefore forming a hydroxide ion from it (H2O ---> OH- ion)


Can you use glycerin to dissolve sodium hydroxide?

Yes, glycerin can be used to dissolve sodium hydroxide. When sodium hydroxide is added to glycerin, it will dissolve and form a clear viscous solution. It is important to handle sodium hydroxide carefully as it is a caustic substance.


Is sodium hydroxide unknown solution?

Sodium hydroxide is not an unknown solution.


What is the name of a substance that produces OH- ions in a solution?

A substance that produces OH- ions in a solution is called a base. Bases are usually compounds that dissociate in solution to release hydroxide ions (OH-) which can accept protons. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).


What is the Method of preparation of 3 percent solution of sodium hydroxide?

To prepare a 3% solution of sodium hydroxide, you can dissolve 3 grams of sodium hydroxide pellets in 100 mL of distilled water. Ensure proper safety precautions are taken when handling sodium hydroxide as it is a caustic substance that can cause burns.


What is the color of sodium hydroxide solution?

none, it is clear


What is relationship between specific gravity and concentration of sodium hydroxide?

The specific gravity of a sodium hydroxide solution increases as the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the solution increases. Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of water, so a higher concentration of sodium hydroxide will result in a solution that is denser and has a higher specific gravity.


Is it necessary for every compound to be acidic or basic or neutral?

To measure the pH of a substance it has to be in solution so if the substance is insoluble you cannot measure its pH. A basic substance is not the same as an alkaline substances. A basic substance is one which can neutralise an acid. An alkaline substance is a solution of a base. For example, chalk (calcium carbonate) is basic as it neutralises acids but as it is insoluble, it is not an alkali. However solid sodium hydroxide can be described as a base as it can neutralise an acid and as it is soluble in water, a solution of sodium hydroxide is both a base and an alkali.


Is sodium hydroxide solution neutral?

No. A sodium hydroxide solution is very basic.


What is the molarity of a 3 sodium hydroxide solution?

A 3 M sodium hydroxide solution means there are 3 moles of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 1 liter of solution.


What is example of quantitative observation?

Quantitative observations involve numbers. An example would be the volume of 0.1M HCl needed to neutralise 25 ml of sodium hydroxide solution.
