Did You Know?
Sodium hydroxide plays a central role in many everyday materials, from soaps and detergents to paper and textiles. In chemistry education, it is often used to demonstrate exothermic dissolution, as significant heat is released when it dissolves in water. Because it reacts readily with acids, fats, and even certain metals, sodium hydroxide provides students with a powerful example of how chemical reactivity must be carefully controlled in laboratory science.
