Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?
Acids.
What does alkali stand for in science?
Alkali does not Stand for anything its a name given to those bases that dissolve in water. For example NaOH is a BASE that can dissolve in water so its an alkali another important thing is that all Alkali's are bases but all bases are NOT alkali's.
What name is given to bases that dissolve in water?
when bases are placed in water, the bases release hydroxyl ions.
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 bases soluble in water?
It depends on the identity of the base and choice of solvent
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
Can you name alkalis?
something bases which can dissolve in water
Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?
Acids.
Do bases dissolve grease?
Bases can react with greases; soaps are formed, soluble in hot water.
What does alkali stand for in science?
Alkali does not Stand for anything its a name given to those bases that dissolve in water. For example NaOH is a BASE that can dissolve in water so its an alkali another important thing is that all Alkali's are bases but all bases are NOT alkali's.
What name is given to bases that dissolve in water?
when bases are placed in water, the bases release hydroxyl ions.
What do bases produce when they dissolve in water?
When a base dissolves in water, e.g NaOH it will form Na+ and OH-
What will happen if a base is added to water?
Bases dissolve in water and donate hydroxide ions to solution. It will dissociate.
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 bases soluble in water?
It depends on the identity of the base and choice of solvent
Do strong bases dissolve in water?
Only hydroxides of alkali metalsare vrey soluble.
Is there any base that does not dissolve in water?
Yes, there are many insoluble bases such as calcium carbonate.
