Description

Sodium hydroxide is used to adjust the pH of solutions in various chemical processes and experiments.

1. Titration: Commonly employed as a strong base in acid-base titrations to determine the concentration of acidic solutions.
2. Cleaning Agent: Utilized for cleaning laboratory glassware due to its ability to saponify fats and remove organic residues.
3. Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a reagent in the synthesis of various organic and inorganic compounds.
4. Neutralization: Used to neutralize acids in chemical reactions and waste treatment processes.
5. Soap Making: Essential in the saponification process for producing laboratory-grade soaps and detergents.
6. Peeling Agent: Applied in the peeling of fruits and vegetables for laboratory analysis.
