A: Dissolve 200g of NaOH pellets in distilled water, then dilute to 1L while stirring. Always wear gloves and eye protection due to its corrosive nature. Store in a labeled, airtight container.
A: Both are strong bases, but 5M KOH has a slightly higher pH (∼15) than 5M NaOH (∼14) due to potassium's greater ionic mobility. Actual values depend on temperature and purity.
A: Yes for some applications, but adjust quantities (280g KOH/L vs 200g NaOH/L). KOH offers higher solubility in alcohol, while NaOH is preferred for soap-making. Verify compatibility with your process.
A: Always use chemical-resistant PPE (gloves, goggles, apron). Work in ventilated areas to prevent inhalation. Neutralize spills with weak acids like vinegar before cleanup.
A: The dissolution of NaOH is highly exothermic (ΔH° = -44.5 kJ/mol). Always add pellets gradually to water (never water to solid) to control heat release and prevent boiling or container cracking.
