Is potassium hydroxide an alkali or a base?
Potassium hydroxide is both an alkali and a base. Alkali typically refers to a soluble base, and since potassium hydroxide dissolves in water to form hydroxide ions, it is considered an alkali. Additionally, as a strong base, it can accept protons from acids, making it a base.
What is the name given to any soluble base?
A soluble base is an ALKALI. e.g. potassium oxide is a base. potassium hydroxide is an alkali. Eq'n. K2O(s) + H2O(l) = 2KOH(aq). Definitely ; a soluble base is an alkali.

In any means, any acid which does exist is not similar to a base as they are categorized on entirely different behaviour. However, if the word 'alkali' is replaced to the word 'acid' in this question, an alkali is a base which can dissolve well in water, every base is not well soluble in water though.
How would you obtain an alkali from a base?
An alkali can be obtained from a base by adding water to the base. The resulting solution will have a pH greater than 7, indicating the presence of an alkali. Examples include sodium hydroxide (base) forming sodium hydroxide solution (alkali) when dissolved in water.
Why is copper oxide a base but not an alkali?
Copper oxide is a base because it can accept protons (H+ ions) from acids, forming water. An alkali, however, specifically refers to a base that is soluble in water, while copper oxide is insoluble in water.
