Question

can we store NaOH in aluminium container give reason to support your answer

Answer 1

We can store the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in Aluminium container as sodium(Na) is more reactive than aluminium so no reaction will take place

Answer 2

Answer: No, we cannot keep NaOH in aluminium container.

Explanation:

$2 Al + 2 NaOH + 2 H2O \rigtharrow 2NaAlO_2+3H_2$.

Aluminium metal reacts violently with sodium hydroxide with formation of sodium aluminate and hydrogen gas. Due to this reason we cannot keep aluminum NaOH in aluminium container.
