It depends on the identity of the base and choice of solvent

What bases are soluble in water?

Alkali metal hydroxides (such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) and alkaline earth metal hydroxides (such as calcium hydroxide) are bases that are soluble in water. Additionally, some metal carbonates and metal bicarbonates can also be soluble in water.


Are weak bases slightly or very soluble in water?

Weak bases are slightly soluble in water. They do not fully dissociate into ions like strong bases, but they do ionize to a small extent in water.


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


Are all bases soluble more specifically is H3BO3 soluble?

No, only alkalies, the bases of Ist group of periodic table are soluble in water, H3BO3 is an acid Boric acid and it is insoluble in water.


What name is given to bases that dissolve in water?

when bases are placed in water, the bases release hydroxyl ions.


What are the soluble in water?

Ointments that are soluble in water are those that contain oleaginous bases. This component in ointments are also called hydrocarbon bases. It has an emollient effect and protects against the escape of moisture.


Bases which do not dissolve in water?

Bases that do not dissolve in water include some insoluble metal hydroxides like magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, and barium hydroxide. These bases tend to form precipitates when added to water instead of fully dissolving.


Do bases dissolve grease?

Bases can react with greases; soaps are formed, soluble in hot water.


What are the ointment soluble in water?

Ointments that are soluble in water are those that contain oleaginous bases. This component in ointments are also called hydrocarbon bases. It has an emollient effect and protects against the escape of moisture.


Are strong bases sparingly soluble?

Strong bases are typically highly soluble in water due to their ability to completely dissociate into ions. Substances like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are examples of strong bases that readily dissolve in water to form hydroxide ions.


What makes alkalis different from other bases?

Alkalis are bases that contain hydroxide ions (OH-) and are soluble in water. This means they can create strongly basic solutions when dissolved in water. Other bases may not necessarily contain hydroxide ions and may not be as easily soluble in water.


Are bases called alkali's?

Bases are not called alkalis. Alkalis are a specific subset of bases that are soluble in water. All alkalis are bases, but not all bases are alkalis.
