First melt the NaOH or KOH so it it is liquid, THEN run current through the molten NaOH. That's how the metal obtained anyway. Sometimes they just use raw current to get the NaOH hot enough to melt but that needs alot of amps. Melting it first doesn't.
Metallic sodium or potassium is safe if you store it in mineral oil.Statistics: Posted by Jehu — Sun May 30, 2010 9:20 pm
