Bases are used for treating acid wastes in treatment plants. They are also used to manufacture epoxy resins. Drain cleaner is usually a powerful base.

What things are alkali?

Alkali's are soluble bases. Bases are the oxides of Groups (I) & (II) metal elements. Taking Group (I) sodium oxide (Na2O) , this is a BASE . It dissolved in water to for the hydroxide , an Alkali. Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH an alkali. However taking Group (II) Calcium oxide (CaO), this is a BASE. It is sparingly soluble in water to form the hydroxide , an Alkali. CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 an alkali.


What is the Difference between a bases and alkali?

Alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element. Alkalis are best known for being bases that dissolve in water. (Most common form is hydroxide.)A base is most commonly thought of as an aqueous substance that can accept H+ ions.A soluble base is also often referred to as an alkali if hydroxide ions (OH−) are involved."All alkali are bases but not all bases are alkali"


What are the uses for the alkali metals?

Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, have various uses. They are used in manufacturing batteries, as reducing agents in chemical processes, and in the production of soaps and fertilizers. Additionally, they are used in some organic synthesis reactions.


Example of bases that are not alkali?

The bases insoluble in water are non alkalies as , Al(OH)3 , Cu(OH)2, AgOH etc.


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 are the uses for an alkali?

alkali is a substance that can burn you very easily it it used in many differentways and can be found in thing you may not even think of.I Know that's the answer you where looking for =) ! hehehe merry Christmas !^sHUT UP YOU FOOL. |: (SORCHA-GAVIN) :D


Is an alkali the same as a base?

Yes, an alkali is a type of base that dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions. So, all alkalis are bases, but not all bases are alkalis.


Do all bases contain hydroxide ions?

A BASE is a metal oxide. A soluble base is an ALKALI and contains hydroxide ions. (-OH) Sodium oxide (Na2O) is a BASE Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an ALKALI. The alkali comes about because the sodium oxide dissolved in water to form the alkali. Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH .
