Research Summary
Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda or lye, is a highly caustic and alkaline chemical compound. It is composed of sodium (Na), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), with the chemical formula NaOH. Sodium hydroxide is typically produced through the electrolysis of salt (sodium chloride) in a process called the chlor-alkali process. It is a white solid in its pure form and is highly soluble in water, producing a strongly alkaline solution. Sodium hydroxide is widely used in various industries and applications, including chemical manufacturing, water treatment, soap and detergent production, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. It is known for its corrosive and reactive properties and is used as a strong base, pH adjuster, cleaning agent, and chemical reagent. It should be handled with care due to its caustic nature and can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.
