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.

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.
What is alkali in chemistry?
An alkali is a base, a hydroxide (containing the group OH-), as sodium hydroxide - NaOH.
Is calcium hydroxide a stronger base than potassium hydroxide?
No, it is not.The bases of alkali metals are always more basic than the bases of the corresponding alkaline earth metals.
