Q
what type of compound is naoh
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
NaOH, known as Sodium Hydroxide, is an inorganic compound and falls under the category of a strong base. It is composed of sodium (Na) ions and hydroxide (OH) ions, which makes it an ionic compound. NaOH is highly soluble in water, generating heat upon dissolution and resulting in a caustic solution, known for its ability to react with acids to produce water and salt in a neutralization reaction. This property makes it a staple in various industrial processes, including paper manufacturing, soap and detergent production, and water treatment. It’s also employed in the laboratory as a strong chemical base. Handling NaOH requires caution due to its corrosive nature, which can cause severe burns upon contact with skin.
