Yes it does with the evolution of much heat. It is often sold at 50% strength in water.
creates a very alkaline solution with the evolution of heat
because it completely dissociates in water
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base (fully dissolves in water) and is highly caustic. If it touches the skin it can cause severe chemical burns. Swallowing it can result in severe damage, often permanent, to the digestive tract and death. Magnesium hydroxide is a weak base (minimally dissolves in water). It cannot cause the damage that sodium hydroxide does.
Sodium Hydroxide reacts with fat to make soap which then dissolves unblocking the drain.
The sodium burns, spilting the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen itself then burns with explosive force.
There is no reaction. "Hydroxide acid" is water, which does not react with sodium hydroxide.
Sodium hydroxide is an alkaline substance which dissolves in water.
It is a physical change. The sodium hydroxide dissolves, but it is still sodium hydroxide.
Sodium hydroxide disassociates in water into a solution of Na+ and OH- ions. Itis an exothermic reaction which gives out heat.

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and reacts with the water to form carbonic acid, and therefore, you get an acid-base neutralization reaction with sodium hydroxide.
The solute is the thing that dissolves, in this case the sodium hydroxide. The solvent is the thing that dissolves it, in this case the water. The result is neither solvent nor solute, but a solution. It could be used as a solvent for some other material.
Sodium Hydroxide reacts with fat to make soap which then dissolves unblocking the drain.
No. Barium hydroxide dissolves in water.
Sodium doesn't dissolve in water, it reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen: sodium + water ----> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
Examples: sodium carbonate, lithium chloride, potassium hydroxide, ammonium bromide, etc.
The sodium burns, spilting the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen itself then burns with explosive force.
