This solution is predominantly ionic as it contains sodium cations and hydroxide anions. The hydroxide anion makes Sodium hydroxide a strong base which reacts with acids to form water and the corresponding salts.
5M Sodium hydroxide is a ready to use ionic solution which can be easily diluted. It is extensively used for neutralizing acids and preparing sodium salts of reagents. It. Can also be used during northern blotting for RNA transfer and fixing
