Is rhodium a alkali?
it is a thing that is in chemistry
Is water an alkali in chemistry?
No, water is generally considered neutral.
Why is sodium bicarbonate solution alkaline?
In chemistry, an alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element. Some authors also define an alkali as a base that dissolves in water. NaHCO3 or sodium bicarbonate is therefore by definition alkali.
What are the differences between bases and alkali in chemistry?
alkalies are bases which are solid substance that dissolve in water to form alkalies (liquid)
How will the pH change when an alkali is added to an acid?
idk, why're you asking me? you should've listened more in your chemistry class tut tut
What are the proporties of Francium in Chemistry?
Frankium is an alkali metal, group 1. Its chemistry is assumed to be similar to the other members of the group. It is highly unstable radioactive element and its properties are not known- very little has been made.
What group are are alkali metals?
Column 1 of a modern periodic table, except for hydrogen: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. (Probably francium is an alkali metal too, but it is so radioactive that not much chemistry has been done with it.)
Why will an alkali metal often combine with a halogen nonmetal to form a compound?
Well, the "happy" number in chemistry is eight. And alkali metals have one valence electron while halogens have seven so when they combine, the combination has eight valence electrons. This means it is full.
What is the chemistry of the reaction between phenol and ferric chloride in Alkali medium?
the brawn colour is formed and this is due to the presece of the OH functional froup found in the phenol.
Difference between a base and alkali?
A base in chemistry is a substance that can accept hydrogen ions(acids) or more generally, donate electron pairs. A soluble base is referred to as an alkali if it contains and releases hydroxide ions (OH−) quantitatively.Soluble- (of a substance) capable of being dissolved.
Where did the families get their names in Chemistry?
The name of a group (family) is derived from the name of an element: lithium group (alkali metals), titanium group, chromium group, zinc group etc.
Is lithium hydroxide a acid or a alkali?
Alkali. IF something contains hydroxide ions it is an alkali.
