 Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a common inorganic compound with a molecular weight of 39.997 g/mol. Typically a white crystalline odorless solid at room temperature, it forms sodium hydroxide solution in water. Highly corrossive, NaOH can induce severe burns on differents parts of the body such as the skin. Some applications include electroplating and oxide coating [1].
