What alkali's would be found in a chemistry lab?

It depends on the lab, but sodium bicarbonate, borax, sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide (or their potassium equivalents) are popular alkalis with many uses.


What would happen if Potassium nitrate and sodium hydroxide are combined?

What observations do you make when you react potassium hydroxide with sodium carbonate?

You get a double decomposition reaction, producing sodium hydroxide and potassium carbonate, but actually there is no real reaction; the four substances remain in perfect equilibrium in solution.


What is the systematic name of lye?

Lye is one of those "common names" that, particularly when combined with adjectives, might mean a couple of different compounds. The canonical lye is sodium hydroxide. However, potassium hydroxide has very similar chemical properties, and I've seen terms like "wood lye" that indicate it's actually the potassium compound instead. "Caustic lye" is a new one on me; both compounds have common names that include the word caustic (caustic soda for sodium hydroxide, caustic potash for potassium hydroxide), so it might be either one. If it's in a recipe for soap or something, it doesn't really matter all that much; as stated earlier, they have very similar properties and either will work.


Can you make potassium hydroxide by mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide?

No, potassium hydroxide cannot be made by mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide is typically produced through the electrolysis of potassium chloride. Mixing potassium sulfate and calcium hydroxide would not result in the formation of potassium hydroxide.


What is the products of the chemical reaction between NAOH and KBR?

The reaction between NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and KBr (potassium bromide) would result in the formation of NaBr (sodium bromide) and KOH (potassium hydroxide) as products. This is a double displacement reaction where the cations and anions switch partners.


Can you use sodium hydroxide as asubstitution of potassium hydroxide in activation process?

In most instances, sodium hydroxide is sufficiently close in chemical properties to potassium hydroxide to make each one a substitute for the other. There are some exceptions, however, and more details about the "activation process" under consideration would be needed to give a more detailed answer.


Why would you use sodium hydrocarbon and potassium hydroxide in a photosynthesis experiment?

In a photosynthesis experiment, sodium bicarbonate is used to provide a carbon source for the plant during photosynthesis. Potassium hydroxide is used to remove any excess carbon dioxide present in the experimental setup to simulate ideal photosynthetic conditions.


What alkali could be added to a strong acid to neutralise it?

To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.


If you were to make sodium hydroxide from an oxide what oxide would you use?

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed.


Is copper soluble in sodium hydroxide?

Metallic copper does not react with sodium hydroxide. But if sodium hydroxide is added into a solution of copper ions, it would form Copper(II) Hydroxide. It is a precipitate which is insoluble in water.
