In many cases, various chemicals need to be combined with other chemicals to achieve better results through a series of reactions. However, many chemicals can dissolve different substances into each other. So, when it is reused, what substances can caustic soda be compatible with?
This substance itself is easily dissolved in water during use and slowly releases heat during the dissolution process. Due to its strong alkaline nature, aqueous solutions will also have strong alkaline properties after dissolving in water, so it can also react with acidic substances. In addition, the substance itself has good water absorption properties, so caustic soda is also used as a desiccant in many cases. However, it can only be used as a desiccant for moisture, so it cannot be used to dry substances such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. In addition, during normal storage, if there is a leak, it will react with carbon dioxide. Although it can corrode some substances due to its strong alkalinity, many substances cannot react.
In addition to being soluble in water, it can also be dissolved in ethanol and glycerol, but substances such as ether and acetone cannot be dissolved, so it is necessary to know which substances can dissolve in each other during the production process.
After the introduction, I believe everyone already knows some substances that are compatible with caustic soda, so we can handle them according to their solubility characteristics when using them. Sometimes we even need to refer to their own solubility characteristics to choose suitable substances and participate in the reaction.
