What observations do you make when you react potassium hydroxide with sodium carbonate?
You get a double decomposition reaction, producing sodium hydroxide and potassium carbonate, but actually there is no real reaction; the four substances remain in perfect equilibrium in solution.
Where does molten carbonate come from?
Sodium carbonate can be made by the Solvay process from brine (sodium chloride) and limestone (calcium carbonate). In the US there are large deposits of a mineral called Trona which is sodium bicarbonate carbonate, and it is obtained from that. Potassium carbonate is made by electrolysis of potassium chloride which is found as mineral Sylvite, which gives potassium hydroxide which is then carbonated with CO2. See wikipedia entries for Solvay Process, Trona, and Potassium Carbonate
Which is the stronger base what Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide?
Potassium Hydroxide is stronger than sodium hydroxide
What is the difference in sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide?
The difference is that sodium hydroxide contains the sodium ion (Na+) while potassium hydroxide contains the potassium ion (K+). Sodium and potassium are two different elements, though they have different properties.
What is an alternative for sodium carbonate?
potassium carbonate
Name some bases?
sodium hydroxide, quicklime or Calcium Oxide, Slaked lime or calcium hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide or caustic potash or lye. Sodium Carbonate; potassium carbonate, rubidium oxide, ammonia etc.

What would happen if Potassium nitrate and sodium hydroxide are combined?
Nothing
Which does potassium hydroxide bond with to form a solid CO2 O2 H2O Air or Glue?
Potassium hydroxide will bond with CO2 to form solid sodium carbonate and liquid water.
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.
Which is the stronger base what Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide?
Potassium Hydroxide is stronger than sodium hydroxide
How is glass prepared?
It is prepared by fusing sodium or potassium carbonate with sand or by heating sodium or potassium hydroxide with sand under pressure.
What is the difference in sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide?
The difference is that sodium hydroxide contains the sodium ion (Na+) while potassium hydroxide contains the potassium ion (K+). Sodium and potassium are two different elements, though they have different properties.
What is an alternative for sodium carbonate?
potassium carbonate
What products have alkali in them?
Toothpaste and solid soap- contain "sodium hydroxide". Indigestion tablets- contain "calcium carbonate." Washing powder- contain "sodium bicarbonate". Liquid soap- contain "potassium hydroxide"
Chemical test can distinguish sodium carbonate form potassium hydroxide?
- use a flame test to distinguish between sodium and potassium - use flame photometry to determine sodium and potassium - heat sodium carbonate and collect the gas in a beaker with water: the gas released is carbon dioxide; see the bubbles. Measure the pH; it will be more than 7.
