Verified by Experts

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a commonly used base and is hygroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes sticky. The acidic oxides react with base to give salt and water. The reaction between NaOH and `CO_(2)` can be given as:
`2NaOH + CO_(2) rarr Na_(2)CO_(3) + H_(2)O`
