Caustic (sodium hydroxide) is added to water to increase the pH levels and neutralize acidity. This helps in water treatment processes by enhancing the coagulation and flocculation of particles, aiding in disinfection, and preventing corrosion in pipes and equipment.

This is just a guess, but if I saw that in an archaic formulary I'd probably assume they were talking about aqueous sodium hydroxide. "Liquor" is sometimes used in chemistry as a general term meaning solution, and "caustic soda" is an old term for sodium hydroxide.
The white stuff formed at the bottom when caustic soda is mixed with water is typically sodium hydroxide crystals. These crystals result from the exothermic reaction that occurs when caustic soda dissolves in water, causing the solution to heat up and potentially precipitate solid sodium hydroxide.

The ratio of caustic soda (NaOH) to water depends on the desired concentration of the solution. A common concentration is a 50% solution, which would involve mixing 1 part of NaOH with 1 part of water by weight (i.e., 1 kg of NaOH with 1 kg of water). Always remember to add caustic soda to water slowly and with caution to avoid splashing and potential hazards.

10 BE Caustic typically contains around 54-65% water.

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.
Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide, is denser than water. Its density is around 2.13 g/cm³, which means it sinks in water.

Caustic potash is potassium hydroxide (KOH), while caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Both are strong alkaline compounds used in industrial processes such as chemical manufacturing and water treatment, but they differ in their chemical composition and properties.
There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
To raise the water level in the beaker, you should add more water to it. The amount of water added should be equal to the volume you want the water level to increase by.
