Can anyone explain to me how a metal hydroxide, like NaOH, reacts to remove water?<br><br>I have never heard of a metal hydroxide being used to dry liquids. My list of 38 drying agents does not include any hydroxides. <br><br>Sodium and potassium metal dry liquids by forming the metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas, this I know.<br><br>Digging through my vast private library, I uncovered an organic lab text from 1950 that calls for the use of NaOH pellets to dry N-Methylpyrrole.<br><br>Is this simply an ion solubility question?<br><br>[EDIT] maybe ion solubility wasn't the right term. In an<br>excess of NaOH, there would be a continuous reaction between<br>OH- and water. But water will always be present. Does this<br>reaction tie up the water, thus removing it from the organic<br>liquid?<br><br>thanks<br><hr><font color="blue"><i>Back to the Primitive</i></font color="blue">

What you need to do is leave some sodium hydroxide crystals out in a humid atmosphere and observe what happens, the term is hygroscopic <img src="../forum/images/icons_lightgrey/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="Smile" heigth="15" width="15"> Drying agents are classified as either physical or chemical. Chemical agents are classified as hydrate forming salts, oxides, acids, bases (caustics) and metals. Caustics are the best agents for drying amines, if this fact isn't apparent in your library, you need to consider an expansion plan <img src="../forum/images/icons_lightgrey/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="Smile" heigth="15" width="15">

<blockquote title="Quoted text"><hr><p>give me a break dude.<p><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>Well, what I don't understand is why a so called "professional student" can't take some initiative and make their way to the library to do their own research, it's good to get a little exercise <img src="../forum/images/icons_lightgrey/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="Smile" heigth="15" width="15"> Adsorption is a surface phenomena, the interface is the solid NaOH and the water present in solution. As the process advances, a layer of NaOH saturated water can be observed. If you would have done the simple experiment as I asked, you would have observed the crystals adsorbing the water from the air, and as you may have heard, "a picture is worth a thousand words". CRC doesn't list a hydrate, so the process you've theorized is probably not the case. I imagine hydrogen bonding is at work (big surprise<img src="../forum/images/icons_lightgrey/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="Smile" heigth="15" width="15">}, the equilibrium is driven toward a saturated solution. <br>

whatever - i use what's used in the labs. in the four<br>years i've been working in the lab, no person has ever used<br>a hydroxide to dry a liquid. the only mention of using<br>NaOH as a drying agent i have seen is in a 50 year old<br>lab text. have to keep an open mind though, and remember<br>how things used to be done. i understand how it works,<br>doesn't seem like a particularly attractive method, but<br>if it works - it works. <br><hr><font color="blue"><i>Back to the Primitive</i></font color="blue">
