- Alkalis,such as sodium hydroxide, are soluble bases. Metal oxides, such as copper(II) hydroxide, are insoluble bases. Insoluble bases also react with acids to form salts and water.

- In general,

acid + base ----> salt + water

- NEUTRALISATION is the reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.

- An alkali react with an acid in a reaction called a neutralisation reaction. Neutralisation reactions are studied above.

- Hydrochloric acid (an acid) is being added to sodium hyroxide (an alkali).

*this have to use an indicator. the colour of the indicator will decrease to become neutral.
