because it completely dissociates in water
It completely dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions.
There is not a term used to described sodium hydroxide. If it is mixed with another element it would be referred to as hydrolysis.
Sodium itself is neither an acid nor a base. However, it will react with water to form the strong base sodium hydroxide.
Because the conjugate acid of a strong base is a much weaker acid than water. Since the conjugate acid is so weak, its chemical action as an acid is negligible in solution. Strong bases have very weak conjugate acids. Weak bases have relatively strong conjugate acids. The same is true for the conjugate bases of strong acids, such as HCl. Cl- is a much weaker base than than water, so its effects are also negligible.
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base (fully dissolves in water) and is highly caustic. If it touches the skin it can cause severe chemical burns. Swallowing it can result in severe damage, often permanent, to the digestive tract and death. Magnesium hydroxide is a weak base (minimally dissolves in water). It cannot cause the damage that sodium hydroxide does.
The easiest way of remembering whether something is a base is by remembering: "A base is a metal oxide, metal hydroxide, or ammonia." Sodium Hydroxide comes under the metal hydroxide category, so yes, it is a base.
No.
It is a strong base
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base.
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and electrolyte.
yes, most substances ending in hydroxide are strong bases
NaOH Is sodium hydroxide and is a strong base.
NaOH Is sodium hydroxide and is a strong base.
By "good" base, I assume you mean strong base. A generic strong base would be potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
Sodium hydroxide is basic.
Yes, the main ingredient in Drano is sodium hydroxide, a strong base.
No, sodium hydroxide is a strong base so its pH must be higher than 7.
