Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a commonly used base and it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes sticky.
The acidic oxides react with base to give salt and water. Lets take an acidic oxide- Carbon dioxide. The reaction between NaOH and CO2 can be given as
2 NaOH + CO2 ---------> Na2CO3 + H2O .
