Sodium Hydroxide Production: Reacting Sodium Oxide with Water
You would use sodium oxide (Na₂O) to make sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Here's the reaction:
Na₂O + H₂O → 2NaOH
Sodium oxide reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide. This is a simple and straightforward reaction, and it's a common method for producing sodium hydroxide in the laboratory.
