Yes, they easily exist together in water.
Alkali metal hydroxides (such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) and alkaline earth metal hydroxides (such as calcium hydroxide) are bases that are soluble in water. Additionally, some metal carbonates and metal bicarbonates can also be soluble in water.
Metal hydroxides dissolved in water form basic solutions, with a pH greater than 7.
Some bases are soluble in water, while others are not. Typically, bases that are Group 1 hydroxides or Group 2 hydroxides are soluble in water, but there are exceptions. Some bases, such as metal oxides or hydroxides of transition metals, are insoluble in water.
One of the most important reasons is that alcohols do not ionize in water solutions, as metal hydroxides do. This is one of the consequences of another important difference: Alcohols exist at standard temperature as discrete, covalently bonded molecules, but metal hydroxides are ionically bonded and do not contain discrete molecules.
Hydroxides of metals form a class of compounds known as metal hydroxides. These compounds consist of a metal ion bonded to a hydroxide ion (OH-), resulting in a basic chemical species. Metal hydroxides are often characterized by their ability to dissociate in water to form metal cations and hydroxide ions.
Alkali metal hydroxides (such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) and alkaline earth metal hydroxides (such as calcium hydroxide) are bases that are soluble in water. Additionally, some metal carbonates and metal bicarbonates can also be soluble in water.
Silver bicarbonate is not a stable compound and is highly insoluble in water. This is because bicarbonates are generally more soluble in water than their corresponding carbonates, but silver carbonate is already insoluble in water, leading to the formation of a precipitate when attempting to dissolve silver bicarbonate in water.
Alkali metal hydroxides are strong bases that are highly water-soluble, forming alkaline solutions. Alkaline earth metal hydroxides are also bases but are less soluble in water compared to alkali metal hydroxides, resulting in less alkaline solutions.
Hard water contains carbonates and bicarbonates of calcium and Magnesium.
Metal hydroxides dissolved in water form basic solutions, with a pH greater than 7.
Metal hydroxides make alkaline solutions.(e.g sodium hydroxide) Pascal
Clarifiers are chemicals that can be modified with small changes in pH so that they will form bulky hydroxides in the water. As the hydroxides age they shrink and become less bouyant so they slowly settle out of the water. The hydroxides form around particles in the water, they will collide with other bouyant particles as they fall and will sweep them out of the water. The Hydroxides will concentrate at the bottom of waters and can be removed by decanting. Flocs can assist the removal by collecting and concentrating the hydroxide into filterable particles.
Some bases are soluble in water, while others are not. Typically, bases that are Group 1 hydroxides or Group 2 hydroxides are soluble in water, but there are exceptions. Some bases, such as metal oxides or hydroxides of transition metals, are insoluble in water.
1. Only the temporary hardness of water (caused by bicarbonates) is decreased by boiling: bicarbonates were transformed in insoluble carbonates and these compounds become a precipitate. 2. The permanent hardness is not influenced by temperature.
One of the most important reasons is that alcohols do not ionize in water solutions, as metal hydroxides do. This is one of the consequences of another important difference: Alcohols exist at standard temperature as discrete, covalently bonded molecules, but metal hydroxides are ionically bonded and do not contain discrete molecules.
when metals react with water they form hydroxides
The hydroxide of Lithium is most soluble but all the hydroxides of alkali metals are completely soluble in water.
