NaOH +H2O -> ?

Question

would it just be NaOH (aq)

Answer 1

Na is the symbol for Sodium and

O is the symbol for Oxygen and

H is the symbol for Hydrogen

When, "linked together", NaOH is the compound sodium hydroxide, a strong base. OH is a hyrdoxyl group (a functional group with specific properties); hence, the compound is known as sodium hydroxide.

Thank you :)
but I was asking what the reaction would produce

Answer 3

Yes, it makes a solution of NaOH.
You may designate it as NaOH(aq) or as the hydrated ions; e.g., Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) depending upon the specific question and/or the preferences of your instructor.
