It is a strong base
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali. It is a strong base that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions, which can accept protons and neutralize acids.
An alkali is a base, a hydroxide (containing the group OH-), as sodium hydroxide - NaOH.
An example of an alkali is Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
Sodium hydroxide.
Sodium is neither an acid nor an alkali in water. When sodium is dissolved in water, it forms sodium hydroxide (a strong alkali) and hydrogen gas. Sodium itself is a metal and is not considered acidic or alkaline in its pure form.
Yep, everything with 'hydroxide' can be called an alkali no matter its state of matter. :)
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.
Sodium hydroxide is both an alkali and alkaline. It is classified as an alkali because it dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions which can react with acidic substances. It is termed alkaline because it has a high pH level and can neutralize acids.
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali, not an acid.
Sodium Hydroxide Solution is a a strong Alkali with a pH reading of 13.
There are sodium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and more.
it depends on what is in the alkali, sodium, calcium, lithium all turn different colours, I believe lithium turns purple, an alkali is a compound with hydroxide ie sodium hydroxide is NaOH
