Is potassium hydroxide an alka li?
Potassium is a Alkali metal.In order to figure out what the metal is, look at the periodic table. The fist column down contains all the Alkali metals. The second Column down contains all the Alkaline Earth Metals. The Last Column to the right contains all the Nobel gases. The Column before that contains all the Halogens.All above is true...The reason WHY the first column is called the "alkali metals", is that when they react with water they form "alkali" salts (that is... bases.) For example...Potassium + water => potassium hydroxide + hydrogen gasPotassium hydroxide is basic (alkaline).BTW, the alkaline earth metals also for basic salts, but the alkali metals are alot better at it.
