does NaOH dissolve plastic containers?
449003
i would assume it depends on the plastic.  But NaOH pellets are stored in HPDE (high density polyethylene) plastic containers.  So my thinking is if concentrated NaOH is stored in plastic than the liquid should also be able.

You're not going to easily deploymerize it. You may have a chance of dissolving it though. Look up its solubility parameter and choose a solvent with the same value of solubility parameter.

Dichloromethane will dissolve most plastics except for PTFE, PFA, or FEP. if you could find a transparent plastic coated with any of these, it might work.

test the reactions of different substances in water. like um put in sugar and salt and then say it dissolved. And put in oil and say it freakin stayed seperate or whatever it does

Pure silica sand will be unaffected by hydrogen peroxide. Salt (NaCl) will be dissolved in the H2O2-solution.\n\nIf you take sand from the garden or similar sources, the sand will have impurities (bacteria, decomposed organic matter, up to short fragments of roots) which will react with the H2O2 - large particles will be bleached, smaller ones will be oxidized and dissolved. H2O2-solution is used to free sediment samples of organic "glues" which prevent sieving. Depending on the degree of organic contamination, concentrations between 5 and 25% are used. Too strong solutions meeting lots of organic material will heat up, foam up and create a mess that can bleach skin and attack surfaces and organs (eyes, other tissue). Thinning with cold water usually slows down the foaming.

I have a serious feeling that you haven't given us all the info.\nIf you know the density of HCl you can get the first one.\nBut we don't have enough info to even begin to tell you the relevance of the NaOH.   More info, or concentrate on your own homework...

It depends on what kind of "cleaning solution" you're talking about.  The little bottles usually included with the mechanical disc cleaners/repairers aren't usually anything more than distilled water.

To perform a solution-based separation, you need a solvent in which one or some of the solutes (in the mixture to be separated) is/are highly soluble, and in which the other components are highly insoluble.\n\nA simple example might be separating an ethanol/pentane mixture by using water.  Ethanol, being polar, will readily dissolve in water; but the nonpolar pentane will not.

If Fe(OH)3 and NaOH get together they have no reason to combine. They are both hydroxides and sodium and iron are both metals. Although sodium hydroxide is a strong reagent, both metals want to give away electrons and there is no other reactant to give them to.

It would largely depend on the polarity of the bond.\n\nEver hear of the "like dissolves like" rule?\nWater, being a polar molecule, will dissolve other polar molecules as well as ionic compounds.  If the colvalently bonded molecule you are trying to dissolve is polar, you have a good chance at dissolving it in water (actual solubility values will varry).  However, if the molecule is non-polar, the molecule is not going to be soluble.\n\nExample,\nWater will easily dissolve "Salt" (NaCl) since it is an ioic compound.\nWater will dissolve alcohol since alcohol has an OH group, making it polar.\nWater will not dissolve gassoline for example since it is a non-polar hydrocarbon (that is why you cant mix oil and water).

Alka Seltzer dissolves in water because it chemically reacts with water.\n\nThe chemical formula for this reaction is:\nH2O + Na(HCO3) --> CO2  +  NaOH  +  H2O \n\nThe equation is balanced.

the rule of thumb is "like dissolves like" \nWater is polar so if it dissolves a substance, that substance is also polar.

no, you cant.\n\nU cant even test the pH for alcohol even if it is slightly acidic compared to other organic compounds, because it's a weaker acid than water. Alcohol can dissolve in aqueous soln; they dont ionize but form network of hydrogen bonds with water molecules.\n\nIn aqueous solution, no matter how basic it is, (let's say 14, that's the best u can do) alcohol will not lose an hydrogen atom 'cause its conjugate base is a stronger base than hydroxide ions (strongest base in aqueous soln). pKa for water is 15, alcohol is 16-18.

acetone might dissolve the plastic.  it can ruin a synthetic gun stock.

It depends on what you are adding the NaOH to.  If you add NaOH to pure H2O the ideal solution mixture will become more alkaline...i.e. higher pH.  If you add NaOH to a stronger organic base such as an Azide (N3-) the solution will be come more acidic...i.e. lower pH.

NA2SO4,KOH,AGCL,CA(NO3)2 ARE SOLUBLE.AND HG2BR2 AND CDS IS INSOLUBLE.
