How do you know if something is an alkali just by the name?
You can identify an alkali by its name if it contains specific terms or elements associated with alkalis. Typically, alkalis are hydroxides of alkali metals (like sodium or potassium) or alkaline earth metals (like calcium). If the name includes "hydroxide," such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH), it indicates an alkali. Additionally, the presence of alkali metal names in the formula or common names suggests it is an alkali, such as sodium or potassium compounds.

Which alkali is strongest in alkali?

What is the name given to a soluble base?
A soluble base is called an alkali. Alkalis are substances that can neutralize acids, forming salts and water. Examples of soluble bases include sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
What is a hydroxide solution a acid or alkali?
A hydroxide solution is typically considered an alkali. This is because hydroxide ions (OH-) present in the solution can accept protons, leading to a basic (alkaline) pH.
What base is soluble in water?
base which is soluble in water is called alkali. example the lithium,calcium sodium ,potassium,rubidium ,francium all are alkali metals. they form sodium hydroxide,potassium hydroxide,calcium hydroxide all are strong bases .when they dissolve in water they form strong alkali.
Can sodium hydroxide solid be called an alkali?
Yep, everything with 'hydroxide' can be called an alkali no matter its state of matter. :)
