what is the affect of NAOH on growing plants?

In anything other than miniscule concentrations, bad times for the plants

NaCl is the salt of a strong acid and a strong base. So when put in water it does not disturb the pH. On the other hand if you put the salt of a strong base and weak acid(CH3COONa for eg) the pH would increase and if you put a salt of weak base and strong acid(NH4Cl) pH would decrease, due to anionic and cationic hydrolysis respectively.

I have a serious feeling that you haven't given us all the info.\nIf you know the density of HCl you can get the first one.\nBut we don't have enough info to even begin to tell you the relevance of the NaOH.   More info, or concentrate on your own homework...

Things are only affected if they are charge particles in electric fields. I don't think there are any charge particles in plants significant enough for an electric field to cause a change in it.

"The Effects of Electricity on the Growth of Plants"\n\n\nWe had that topic last year.

Sodium is highly soluble, so sodium hydroxide disssociates to make a really, really high pH.  At that high pH, hydroxide ions will attack and destroy proteins, making any biologicals dead and eliminating protein build up.

I am highly skeptical of this notion.  However, they affect the moisture content of the air through the transfer of moisture into/out of leaves through holes on the underside called stoma.  Maybe they were referring to heat caused by light shining on the leaves.  This heat would result from absorbance of light.  This heat would radiate off the plant into the air and would warm the air around the plant.  That's all I can hypothesize.

First you could look at the label and see if it contains any potentially harmful chemicals to plants, such as sodium, boron, and chlorides or mineral nutrients that plants require, such as potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, \nmagnesium, calcium, sulfate, etc. Most detergents no longer contain high levels of phosphorus, because phosphates in detergents were once a major water pollution problem.\n\nAnother thing to do is to contact the manufacturer and ask if they have any information on its effects on plants. Many products have a toll-free phone number on the package. \n\nIf you have access to an electrical conductivity (EC) meter, an EC reading on the wash water might indicate if there was a problem with high salinity. \n\nDo a web search for gray water, because many environmentalists advocate using laundry water, bath water, etc. for plant irrigation.

Excellent question.  \n\nThis is due to a process called osmosis.  Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules in and out of a partially permeable membrane (a kind of barrier that only allows certain molecules to pass through), from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration.\n\nIts pretty self-explanatory here.  Since the concentration of water is higher inside than outside of the plant, water moves out of the plant, resulting in the plant dehydrating and dying.

I guess you mean the gas ethylene ... this gas is released by ripening fruit and can cause unripe fruit to ripen. Insect damage is also known to stimulate ethylene release, but not necessarily damage by just any insect. Ethylene can affect plant growth negatively ...\n\n"The effects of ethylene on greenhouse-grown crops can range from none to severe. No other air pollutant causes a greater range of damage symptoms than ethylene gas (Rodgers, 1980). Symptoms include malformed leaves and flowers, thickened stems and leaves, lack of growth (stunting), abortion of flowers and leaves, bud and leaf abscission, epinasty (drooping and curling of leaves.)"

It depends on your definition of "danger", "residue", and "use".  If the use was acid neutralization, the only danger would be the salt formed and its impact on rusting metal.  If the NaOH was not "used up", it will stay basic for years, the pH indicating the level of "danger".  The residues could be caustic, salt, or a salt from how it was used.  You have to test to see what it is or know the "use".

there are tons of factors affecting plant growth. one of them is the kind of soil for the plant to grow. some plants need a specific type of soil in order to grow properly. another factor is the sunlight and food it gets. it needs the propwer nourishment for the palnt to fluorish. next is the nutrients that a plant need. some may need medicines to help them grow better.

The responses of microorganisms to growth-inhibiting salt concentrations have been studied extensively. In a number of cases, the effects of both salt and sugar stress on the accumulation of individual compatible solutes such as K+ and glycine betaine have been determined. However, only in a few studies have the osmolytes accumulated in salt-stressed cells been compared with those in sugar (nonionic)-stressed cells

Because NaOH can react with CO2 in the air according to the following equation:\n\nNaOH+CO2 = NaHCO3\n\nNaOH is corrosive and capable of destrying cork stoppers.

Yes, actually if you water the plants too much the roots gets rotten and die, on the other hand if you don't water the plants they also die, so it has to be a balance, water moderate once a day and plenty of sunlight, that's the idea..☺

Shampoo is a detergent, meaning it disrupts cell membranes, but plants are coated with a waxy layer. Their roots might have a little more trouble taking up the water. With a sufficiently dilute amount it might not hurt. A treatment for aphids is to spray a dilute soap solution on the plant (it smothers the aphids). There are natural detergents in nature, and some plants actually produce them to discourage pests as well as other plants. Whether or not it will affect the plant very much will depend on the type of plant as well as the strength of the shampoo. \n\nI would do this experiment in a contained environment (soil in pots) and water with regular water a couple of times before discarding the soil or using it for something else.
