Sodium Hydroxide is a white translucent crystalline solid. Its aqueous solution is astringent and greasy, with strong alkalinity and corrosivity. Sodium hydroxide is easy to deliquesce in the air, so solid sodium hydroxide is often used as desiccant. It is very soluble in water and releases a lot of heat when dissolved. It is soluble in ethanol and glycerin.
