No. Potassium is K and Sodium is Na.
Potassium is K; Sodium hydroxide is NaOH (aq)
Perhaps you meant Potassium hydroxide? KOH (aq)
both are very strong bases, meaning that both will disassociate completely in water, but they are not the same thing.

What will happen when caustic soda gets mixed with sodium hydroxide?
Caustic soda and Sodium hydroxide are the same chemical !
Is sodium hydroxide same as sodium benzoate?
NO!!! They are two different chemicals. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH Sodium benzoate is ( C6H5)COO^-Na^+. It is the salt of benzoic acid.
Could sodium chromate be used instead of potassium chromate?
Yes, because chemical properties of sodium and potassium ions are nearly same.
What chemical reacts the same as sodium iodide?
Potassium iodide
What happens when you mix sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide liquid?
This would produce an energetic reaction with a lot of heat, and the product would be water and potassium sulfate (as long as the molar quantities of the reactants are the same, otherwise you will have leftover sulfuric acid or leftover potassium hydroxide).
Sodium is preferred over potassium in industrial applications because why?
$$$$$$ Sodium is cheaper!!!!$$$$$$ They both work great for the same purposes and are very often interchangeable. (But potassium hydroxide makes much softer and, to me, more pleasant feeling soap than sodium hydroxide)
What is sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid the same as?
Sodium hydroxide is a base and hydrochloric acid is an acid. Both are not same.
Is magnesium hydroxide stronger than barium hydroxide?
No, each soluble hydroxide (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, barium etc.) are as strong as all of the SAME kind of hydroxide anions (OH-).Only the solubility differences determine the concentration of OH- ions, but their 'strength' is ALL the SAME.Really hydroxide is the strongest base in water solution.Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and barium hydroxides are actually (basic) SALTS of the same hydroxide anions! The cations are all neutral in water.
Is hydrogen peroxide the same as sodium hydroxide?
No - sodium Hydroxide is NaOH and is an alkali. Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2 and is an oxidizer
What will happen when caustic soda gets mixed with sodium hydroxide?
Caustic soda and Sodium hydroxide are the same chemical !
Is sodium hydroxide same as sodium benzoate?
NO!!! They are two different chemicals. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH Sodium benzoate is ( C6H5)COO^-Na^+. It is the salt of benzoic acid.
What hazards does sodium hydroxide have?
Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda or lye) is caustic and as a result it will destroy or irreversibly damage another substance with which it comes into contact including skin!. It is reactive to aluminum so be careful if you are using it to make soap. If you will be working with sodium hydroxide always keep a bottle of vinegar near by since water will not stop the corrosive effects only an acid.
What compounds have the same radical?
For example sodium hydroxide ant caesium hydroxide: NaOH, CsOH.
Why potassium chloride can be used as a substitute for sodium chloride?
Potassium and sodium are categorised under the same group which is Group 1 in the Periodic Table of Elements which consists of alkali metal. Therefore potassium and sodium possess the same chemical properties.
Is sodium hydroxide same as sodium phosphate?
No. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH; it is a strong base often used in drain cleaner. Sodium phosphate is Na3PO4; it is a weak base with a number of applications in cleaning and in food.
Is smoky quarts the same thing as a moonstone?
No, smoky quartz and moonstone are not the same thing. Smoky quartz is a silicon dioxide crystal while moonstone is a sodium potassium aluminium silicate.
What two compounds have the same radical?
For example sodium hydroxide ant caesium hydroxide: NaOH, CsOH.
