The difference between caustic soda and caustic soda
Soda flakes are a common chemical product with stable properties and certain corrosion resistance. Many people easily confuse caustic soda with soda flakes, but they are actually produced from the same substance with slight differences in chemical structure. Let's analyze them below.
1、 The aqueous solution of caustic soda has a bitter taste and a broad and delicate texture. The solution is highly alkaline and has all the properties of alkali.
Molecular weight: 40.00
Category: Strong Alkali, Weak Acid Salt
Chemical formula: Na2CO3
Both caustic soda and caustic soda are the same thing, with the molecular formula of calcium hydroxide being NaOH, caustic soda; Caustic soda; Alkali flakes; Caustic soda; Caustic alkali is some of its names, they are all the same thing! Soda is actually sodium carbonate.
Both are sodium hydroxide. Relative density (water=1): 2.532
2、 Caustic soda
Melting point: 851 ℃
Taste: astringent
Molecular formula: NaOH
Common names: block alkali, stone alkali, soda, oral alkali.
Molecular weight: 105.99
The above is an introduction to the differences between caustic soda and sodium hydroxide. We can see that both are derivatives of sodium hydroxide, with similar properties but different molecular structures. They are both alkaline and corrosive, so we should pay attention to the correct usage method when using them to avoid harm.
