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).

Why all alkalies are bases but not all bases are alkalies?

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. RS :D

Why alkalies are bases but bases are not alkalies?

Because, "alkali" is basically the term for a base in a liquid form, whereas a base is an alkali in a liquid or gas form so cannot be called an alkali because it is not liquid. A base which is soluble in water is called an alkali. Both react with acids in an identical manner. (Base + Acid --> Salt + Water).

Why carbon unaffected by aqueous alkalies?

Carbon is unaffected by aqueous alkalies because it does not react with them under normal conditions. The strong basic nature of alkalies like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) is not strong enough to break the strong carbon-carbon bonds in carbon. This makes carbon resistant to corrosion or reaction with alkalies.

How would you obtain an alkali from a base?

An alkali can be obtained from a base by adding water to the base. The resulting solution will have a pH greater than 7, indicating the presence of an alkali. Examples include sodium hydroxide (base) forming sodium hydroxide solution (alkali) when dissolved in water.
