Yes,alkalies and bases are the same. An alkali is a soluble salt of an alkali metal like sodium or potassium. Today, the term alkali describes a substance that chemically is a base (the opposite of an acid).

How would you obtain an alkali from a base?
aren't alkalies just liquid bases
Why alkalies are bases but bases are not alkalies?
Because, "alkali" is basically the term for a base in a liquid form, whereas a base is an alkali in a liquid or gas form so cannot be called an alkali because it is not liquid. A base which is soluble in water is called an alkali. Both react with acids in an identical manner. (Base + Acid --> Salt + Water).
Is Alkali another name for base or metal?
All the water soluble bases are alkalies as NaOH and KOH.
Is slippery an acid or an base?
slippery is a base
What is the SIC Code for Alkalies and chlorine?
SIC 2812 applies to ALKALIES AND CHLORINE.

Why all alkalies are bases but not all bases are alkalies?
Bases have a pH above 7. These are of two types. The one which is soluble is called ALKALIES. The one which are insoluble are called INSOLUBLE BASE. Not all bases are soluble but only some of them are soluble. Eg: Ammonia, Aq. NaOH, etc are alkalies; they are soluble. RS :D

What is the pH of alkalies?
Alkalies are basic substances (pH under 7).
What is the NAICS Code for Alkalies and Chlorine Manufacturing?
NAICS 325181 applies to Alkalies and Chlorine Manufacturing.
An example of a base which is not an alkali?
The bases (hydroxides) other than I-group elements of periodic table are not alkalies as Cu(OH)2 and AgOH
Are acids and alkalis the same?
No, acids and alkalies are absolutely different. Acid is an electron gainer, while alkali is an electron donor.
What are the differences between bases and alkali in chemistry?
alkalies are bases which are solid substance that dissolve in water to form alkalies (liquid)
Why carbon unaffected by aqueous alkalies?
it can be
