What are the properties of caustic soda? Is caustic soda pure?

Caustic soda is a commonly used chemical, it is also called sodium hydroxide, the reason why it is called this name, because sodium hydroxide aqueous solution or other solutions have a strong corrosive effect, so it is called “caustic”. Caustic soda’s chemical formula is NaOH, which dissociates Na+ ions and OH- ions in water, and belongs to alkaline substances and is a kind of strong base. Caustic soda is composed of a compound called NaOH and is pure. Now let’s learn about what the properties of caustic soda are.

1. What is caustic soda?

Caustic soda is the common name of sodium hydroxide, belongs to a caustic alkali, the so-called caustic soda, is the alkali metal and silver, one valence of the corresponding hydroxide collectively, because of their aqueous solution or other solutions on fur, skin, paper, etc., has a strong corrosive effect, so there is a “caustic” name.

2. What are the properties of caustic soda?

Caustic soda is a compound, according to the theory of acid-base ionization, according to the dissociation of the electrolyte in the aqueous solution of the compound is divided into acid, base, salt three, then caustic soda is acidic or alkaline?

According to the theory of acid-base ionization, substances that dissociate cations in aqueous solution are all hydrogen ions are called acids; The dissociated anions are all hydroxide ions of the substance called the base, caustic soda chemical formula is NaOH, in water ionized Na+ ions and OH- ions, so it belongs to the basic compound, with the common base. Caustic soda is a highly alkaline substance and belongs to a strong base.

3. Is caustic soda pure?

Yes.

Chemical substances are divided into pure substances and mixtures according to their composition. Pure substances refer to substances composed of a single substance or a compound, which are composed of fixed, fixed physical and chemical properties, and have special chemical symbols that can be expressed by a chemical formula. Caustic soda’s chemical formula is NaOH, and it has fixed chemical formula and fixed physical and chemical properties, so it belongs to pure matter and is an inorganic compound in pure matter.
