If you were to make sodium hydroxide from an oxide what oxide would you use?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed.
What would the reaction with sodium and water be?
sodium in water form compound with OH as water breaks in H+ and OH- and Na forms NaOH
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.
Why is sodium packed in polythene?
Sodium is very reactive, and will react with the water in the air. Also, if it got a lot of water on it, the sodium would cause a fire or explosion.
Why calcium is not used as water pipes?
I think aluminum isn't used in water pipes because it's a type of paper metal. Therefore, it's way too fragile. Water's weight might rip right through it.
Why do bakers add a pinch of sodium while making sweet chocolate tart?
If they added a pinch of "sodium", that would probably be dangerous...sodium and water = an explosive reaction.
What would be the enemy or opposite of the element Sodium?
Perhaps its water, when water and sodium mix the water tends to dissolve the sodium
Why would the water pipes in the ceiling rattle when you turn on the water?
Water Hammer.
How would recycled water be delivered to your house?
pipes
Why is iron not used on drain pipes?
Iron rusts easily when combined with water, and drain pipes have water flowing through them. If iron was used, the pipes would rust within a few days.
Should you insulate swimming pool pipes underground?
I see no reason why you would insulate them. When you close your pool for winter you will purge (empty) your pump and pipes. The water in the pool would freeze long before the water will in the pipes under ground.
What is added to sodium hydroxide that will get sodium sulphate and water?
You would need to add Sulphuric acid to make Sodium Sulphate + Water :)
What occurs when sodium enters water?
When soidium enters water it forms a solution. The sodium would be the solute and the water is the solvent.
Why water is not used in sodium fire?
Sodium and water are HIGHLY reactive. It would only compound the problem.
What happens when sulphuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide?
sulphuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium sulphate and water.
What would you observe if you mixed sodium carbonate and water?
If you mix sodium carbonate and water, you would observe that the sodium carbonate dissolves in the water. This is because sodium carbonate is highly soluble in water. The solution may also become slightly warm due to the dissolution process.
Will water from a water softner hurt a guinea pig?
No. Water softeners replace the calcium and magnesium in some water supplies with sodium ions that cause fewer issues for pipes and soap. None of which would be in high enough quantities to be harmful. However, you might just want to give the animal filtered water.
