Question

how to derive the chemical formula for sodium hydroxide

derive​

Answer 1

Answer:

So friend sodium hydroxide is Na(OH)

Do you want to know how do I make this formula and other formulas which contains hydroxide in the last...... It's easy

Let's start with it formula of sodium hydroxide , so here we can see two words 'sodium' and 'hydroxide'

What is sodium ....... It's a metal same in NaCl so we take up word Sodium and make its chemical name which is "Na" and then we will add 'hydroxide' , and it's chemical name is 'OH' and as we have a combined name of sodium (Na) and hydroxide (OH) which is sodium hydroxide we join their chemical name also and make it as NaOH ..

Let's increase the difficulty and descover something more as Calcium Hydroxide , now here we can see that calcium valency is 2 so here two hydroxide will connect with one molecule of clacium and it will be represented as Ca(OH)2 ,,

And in aluminium,,,, its hydroxide would be almunium hydroxide note again here valency of almunium is 3 so it will take 3 OH or hydroxixe and froms Al(OH)3.......

I hope u like it..........

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide is derived from salt water (brine). It is most commonly manufactured by the electrolysis of brine, a salt (NaCl) solution. During this process the water (H20) is reduced to hydrogen gas (H) and hydroxide ion (OH). The hydroxide ion bonds with the sodium to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
