Sodium hydroxide can be found under the names: caustic soda, caustic soda, caustic soda, caustic soda
Solid caustic soda is a white crystalline substance. It is hygroscopic and easily combines with carbon dioxide in the air (forming a sodium carbonate coating). Store it in tightly closed jars. It dissolves very well in water, liberates significant amounts of heat and forms caustic soda, that is, an odorless, colorless, non-flammable liquid that reacts with acids, nonmetal oxides and amphoteric hydroxides, forming sodium salts. It feels slippery and causes burns. It is corrosive to metals, especially in the presence of moisture. It readily reacts with metals with amphoteric properties to release hydrogen (e.g. with aluminum and zirconium to form clay and zirconates, respectively). Forms salts with weak organic acids (e.g. phenols and nitromethane). Under the influence of NaOH, nonmetals disproportionate (for example, white phosphorus boiled with NaOH solution gives phosphate and phosphate, and sulfur dissolves in NaOH solution to form sulfide and sulfite).
