How will you prove that sodium hydroxide is a base without using a litmus paper to test give the equation
Answered by DrBob222
It isn't easy to know what you have in mind. There are host of indicators that can be used besides litmus. I assume those aren't what you want. You can use the slippery feeling test but that has no equation. You can neutralize it with an acid. You can add it to a salt of NH3 (such as NH4Cl) and it will give off NH3.
NH4Cl + NaOH --> NH3 + NaCl + H2O (not balanced)
