What is a good base?
By "good" base, I assume you mean strong base. A generic strong base would be potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
What alkali could be added to a strong acid to neutralise it?
To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.
What is caustic soda acid base or salt?
It can be either. Two examples would be: Caustic soda (Sodium Hydroxide), which is very alkaline. Caustic potash (Potassium Hydroxide), which is very acidic.
Why is potassium iodide used in iodometric titrations instead of sodium iodide?
I would guess that this is so because of potassium's mass, being much more than, sodium's molar mass per ion. So can sodium iodide be used instead of potassium iodide? Perhaps, but maybe not to the same level effectiveness. Potassium molecules have been known to dissolve better than sodium molecules. One example is Potassium Chloride and Sodium Chloride thanks
What safety guideline would you follow if you were working with potassium hydroxide?
You would need to wear safety goggles, gloves, and a lab apron when working with potassium hydroxide.
Sodium chloride is mixed with sodium hydroxide?

What alkali's would be found in a chemistry lab?
It depends on the lab, but sodium bicarbonate, borax, sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide (or their potassium equivalents) are popular alkalis with many uses.
What would happen if Potassium nitrate and sodium hydroxide are combined?
Nothing
Why is magnesium hydroxide used as an antacid instead of sodium hydroxide?
Sodium Hydroxide is way too basic (very high pH) and would cause internal damage.
What is the systematic name of lye?
Lye is one of those "common names" that, particularly when combined with adjectives, might mean a couple of different compounds. The canonical lye is sodium hydroxide. However, potassium hydroxide has very similar chemical properties, and I've seen terms like "wood lye" that indicate it's actually the potassium compound instead. "Caustic lye" is a new one on me; both compounds have common names that include the word caustic (caustic soda for sodium hydroxide, caustic potash for potassium hydroxide), so it might be either one. If it's in a recipe for soap or something, it doesn't really matter all that much; as stated earlier, they have very similar properties and either will work.
Can you use sodium hydroxide as asubstitution of potassium hydroxide in activation process?
In most instances, sodium hydroxide is sufficiently close in chemical properties to potassium hydroxide to make each one a substitute for the other. There are some exceptions, however, and more details about the "activation process" under consideration would be needed to give a more detailed answer.

What are substances that form hydrogen ions when released in water?
If it produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, it is considered a base. Examples would be sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and even ammonia (NH3) becauseNH3 + H2O ==> NH4+ + OH-
What is caustic soda acid base or salt?
It can be either. Two examples would be: Caustic soda (Sodium Hydroxide), which is very alkaline. Caustic potash (Potassium Hydroxide), which is very acidic.
Why would you use sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium hydroxide in a photosynthesis experiment?
They aare used in order to absorb carbon dioxide.
