Yes, anything with 'hydroxide' on the end of it is an alkali.
Copper(I)- and Copper(II)-hydroxide are both very insoluble hydrates of the corresponding oxides of copper. (Cu2O.H2O = 2CuOH and CuO.H2O = Cu(OH)2 )

Is copper sulphate alkali?
NO, because copper sulphate doesn't contain hydroxide ions, which is responsible for basic nature.
Is lithium hydroxide a acid or a alkali?
Alkali. IF something contains hydroxide ions it is an alkali.
Is potassium hydroxide an alkali or a base?
potassium hydroxide is a base. anythng with hydroxide at the end is an alkali
What is a hydroxide solution a acid or alkali?
Alkali
IS Cu(OH)2 soluble?
No, copper hydroxide is insoluble. It appears as a blue gelatinous precipitate when alkali is added to a solution of a copper salt, but it decomposes if you attempt to dry it.
Copper reacts with sodium hydroxide?
Copper metal itself does not react with sodium hydroxide. But when NaOH is added to a solution of copper ions, it would form a light blue precipitate, which is copper(II) hydroxide, and will NOT dissolve with the excess alkali.

Is CuS soluble?
No, copper hydroxide is insoluble. It appears as a blue gelatinous precipitate when alkali is added to a solution of a copper salt, but it decomposes if you attempt to dry it.

IS Cu(OH)2 soluble?
No, copper hydroxide is insoluble. It appears as a blue gelatinous precipitate when alkali is added to a solution of a copper salt, but it decomposes if you attempt to dry it.
What is alkali in chemistry?
An alkali is a base, a hydroxide (containing the group OH-), as sodium hydroxide - NaOH.
Is a alkali a atom?
No. An alkali is a compound: the hydroxide of al alkali metal.
Is zinc hydroxide a base or alkali?
An alkali is a soluble base, and zinc hydroxide is insoluble, so it is a base.
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.
Can sodium hydroxide solid be called an alkali?
Yep, everything with 'hydroxide' can be called an alkali no matter its state of matter. :)
