CAUSTIC SODA

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a fundamental chemical compound commonly found in chemistry laboratories. It is typically seen in the form of colorless transparent crystals with a density of 2.130g/cm³. Its melting point is at 318.4℃, while its boiling point is at 1390℃. Industrial-grade sodium hydroxide may contain traces of sodium chloride and sodium carbonate, presenting as white opaque crystals with various shapes such as blocky, flake, granular, or rod-like. With a chemical formula of 40.01, sodium hydroxide serves various purposes, including its use as an alkaline cleaning agent in water treatment. It is soluble in ethanol and glycerol but insoluble in propyl alcohol and ether. At high temperatures, it can corrode materials such as sodium carbonate. Additionally, sodium hydroxide undergoes disproportionation reactions with halogens like chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

Caustic soda useage:
1.It mainly used as the most common paint stripper on the wooder objects.
2.It can be used in conjunction with zinc for creation of the famous Gold pennies experiment.
3.It can be used in the refining of alumina containing ore (bauxite) to produce aluminas(aluminium oxide) which used to produce aluminium metal via the smelting process.
4.It can be used in soap making(cold process soap,saponification).
5.It can be used in the home as a drain cleaning agent for clearing dogged drains.
6.Washing or chemical peeling of fruits and vegetable.
