  • SAFETY

    Just a word on safety from Wikipedia:

    Solid sodium hydroxide or solutions containing high concentrations of sodium hydroxide may cause chemical burns, permanent injury or scarring, and blindness.

    Dissolution of sodium hydroxide is highly exothermic, and the resulting heat may cause heat burns or ignite flammables.

    The combination of aluminium and sodium hydroxide results in a large production of hydrogen gas:
    2Al(s) 6NaOH(aq) → 3H2(g) 2Na3AlO3(aq).
    Mixing these two in a closed container is therefore dangerous.
