Bases have a pH above 7. These are of two types. The one which is soluble is called ALKALIES. The one which are insoluble are called INSOLUBLE BASE. Not all bases are soluble but only some of them are soluble. Eg: Ammonia, Aq. NaOH, etc are alkalies; they are soluble.

∙ 9y agoAll Alkali are soluble Bases but all Bases are not soluble.Therefore,it the solubility in water that determines which Base is Alkali.

This is because alkali means a base that is soluble in water and all bases are not soluble in water (example- Al(OH)3).

Are all alkalis dissolved in water?
Alkalies are those bases which are completely water soluble, so alkali can not be water insoluble.
What typically feel slippery when touched?
Bases (alkalies).
What is the pH of alkalies?
Alkalies are basic substances (pH under 7).
Is it favourable to use alkalies in treatment of hyper acidity regardless being exothermic reaction?
Alkali metals or strong bases are not used; antacids contain aluminium or magnesium hydroxides, sodium bicarbonate etc.
How are all bases chemically the same?
Because all bases have same characteristics and they reacts the same.
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)
Are all alkalis dissolved in water?
Alkalies are those bases which are completely water soluble, so alkali can not be water insoluble.
What typically feel slippery when touched?
Bases (alkalies).
Is Alkali another name for base or metal?
All the water soluble bases are alkalies as NaOH and KOH.
How would you obtain an alkali from a base?
aren't alkalies just liquid bases
Are all bases soluble more specifically is H3BO3 soluble?
No, only alkalies, the bases of Ist group of periodic table are soluble in water, H3BO3 is an acid Boric acid and it is insoluble in water.
A compound that dissolves in water to give hydroxide ions as the only negeative ions are what?
such compounds are bases or alkalies.
Are alkalies and base same?
Yes,alkalies and bases are the same. An alkali is a soluble salt of an alkali metal like sodium or potassium. Today, the term alkali describes a substance that chemically is a base (the opposite of an acid).
Which of the bases of sodium hydroxide calcium hydroxide potassium hydroxide magnesium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are alkalies?
Both KOH and NaOH are strong bases. Calcium hydroxide is not nearly so strong and NH4OH is a fairly weak base.
Is sodium hydroxide an alkali or alkaline?
Sodium Hydroxide is an alkali. Alkaline is an adjective used to describe things that are alkalies. All alkalies are alkaline be definition.
What is corrosive alkali called?
Corrosive alkalies are not really called anything in general. Just call them corrosive alkalies when you talk about ALL corrosive alkalis
Are alkalies ionic or covalent?
If you just mean compounds that are alkaline (basic), they can be either. Sodium carbonate and potassium hydroxide are ionic bases, while ammonia and phosphine are covalent bases.
