Safety precautions to be taken when handling lyes

Principle

Concentrated alkalis are highly corrosive and capable of decomposing especially organic material. When handling alkalis safety precautions must be taken which are similar to those to be taken when handling acids. In this experiment students study the properties of a drainpipe detergent and of concentrated caustic soda solution.
