Chinese alternative name: Sodium hydroxide; Caustic soda Caustic soda Caustic soda flakes Chemical properties: White dry granules, blocks, rods or thin slices, odorless, highly hygroscopic. It is hard and brittle in texture, and the fracture surface shows crystallization. It has strong hygroscopicity and easily absorbs carbon dioxide in the air. It is highly soluble in water, readily soluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in ether. Its solubility in water increases with the rise in temperature, and it releases a large amount of heat during dissolution. pH 14(50g/L,H2O,20℃). Melting point: 318-323℃. Boiling point: 1390℃/760mmHg. Density ρ(20)2.13g/mL. Usage: Analytical reagent; Prepare standard alkali solution for analysis; Absorbent for a small amount of carbon dioxide and moisture; Neutralization of acid Sodium salt manufacturing. Storage: Room temperature Hazard Declaration: Non-flammable, highly corrosive. It poses a mild hazard to water bodies. Preventive statement: Store only in the original container. Wear protective clothing/protective gloves/protective goggles/protective masks. Do not inhale. Avoid releasing into the environment. Fire extinguishing: Use sand and water mist to put out the fire.
