Traditionally, alkyds are found in solvent-based paints that must be reduced with paint thinner or mineral spirits. "Waterborne alkyd" is a generic term to refer to an alkyd resin that can be used in a water-thinnable paint. Because alkyds are not miscible with water, a chemical modification is sometimes used to produce a hybrid alkyd resin - often acrylic/alkyd or urethane/alkyd - that is compatible with water. These hybrids are often categorized generically under the term waterborne alkyds.
A pure alkyd can be emulsified in water using appropriate surfactant combinations. This type of surfactant-stabilized alkyd emulsion has been sometimes referred to as an "alkyd latex." Different resin manufacturers use varying terminology to describe waterborne alkyds with the terms alkyd emulsion, alkyd dispersion, and alkyd latex being among the most common.
I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the chemicals in the alkyd will dissolve the latex and the alkyd won't "stick". It's best to remove the latex using laquer thinner or xylene first.
Not if the melamine paint is oil (alkyd) based.
Yes, the water borne latex paint manufactured today can be covered successfully with nearly any finish imaginable, including an alkyd primer. However, if possible I would exchange the alkyd with any water base primer/sealer. Costs less and the fumes aren't as offensive.
There are different kinds of satin paint - you'd have to know if it was latex, oil, enamel, alkyd etc.
no. Latex paint is flexible and remains so after curing. Alkyds dry to a solid, non-flexible surface, causing it to usually crack when put over a latex
The solution in which the pigment is suspended. i.e. the pigment is suspended in a water-based solution in latex paint, but in an oil-based solution for alkyd (oil) paints.

There is little difference between many acrylics and latex paints.
Acetone is usually used to test if a paint is alkyd or latex, though rubbing alcohol will work as well. Use a Q-tip soaked in either acetone or rubbing alcohol on a surface painted by the paint. If it comes off, it's latex.
The difference between a latex and a neoprine surgical glove is the material there made from. So people are allergic to latex so they made neoprine for those peoples needs.

its called latex gloves and the other glove is called rubber

what is the difference between the strenght of thermoplastic rubber and latex
Latex has to be used with synthetic brushes to ensure that bristles don't swell. Oil should use natural bristle brushes for a smooth finish.
