How would taste sodium hydroxide in very dilute solution?

Best Answers

It would taste bitter, but why? Essentially, you're making soap. All soaps have a basic structure consisting of a hydrophobic tail (a fat) and a hydrophilic head (a ion). read more

To me sodium hydroxide and pretty much all bases have metallic/rusty taste. DISCLAIMER Tasting is on your own risk. Only a experienced chemist should do this experiment. Use very dilute bases (bases such as sodium hydroxide disintegrate tissues). read more

Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries, mostly as a strong chemical base in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tonnes, while demand was 51 million tonnes. read more

No, because when the sodium hypochlorite solution is added to water, the water decreases the pH and the sodium hypochlorite becomes more active. The chemistry behind this is: the pH scale is from 0 to 14. Acids have a pH below 7, bases are above 7, and 7 is neutral. Most natural water is around pH 6-7. read more
