Water can dissolve polar compounds but not apolar. By this way the formation of leuco base of indigo give a polar compound wich can be dissolve in water. This leuco base is a sodium salt, and consequently it is polar.

If Computers use base 2 why do humans insist on using the base16?
The math for base 16 is easier and faster than the math for base 2.
What is a common base NPN amplifier?
A common base NPN amplifier is used for high frequency applications as the base minimize oscillations at high frequency, separates the input and output. In a common base NPN amplifier the voltage gain is high, relatively low input impedance and high output impedance compared to the common collector.
How does binary numbering system differ from the hexadecimal numbering system?
The decimal system we normally use is base 10. That means that each position has 10 times the place-value of the digit to the right of it.Binary is base 2. Hexadecimal is base 16.
What is indexed addressing mode?
When stored in contiguous blocks, data usually has a base address. Accessing any data from the block requires an offset to the base address which is achieved through an index. The adding of an offset to the base address is called indexed addressing.
Why is it important to convert indigo to the leuco-base form in a dye bath?
Indigo has to be converted to the leuco-base form in a dye bath because indigo is insoluble in water and has to be converted to a water-soluble form through an oxygen-reduction process. This action produces luecoindigo which it used to dye clothes. The clothe can be converted back to an indigo form thereafter by air drying.
Do a base react with water to form a hydroxyde?

Is basic another word for alkaline?
The difference between basic and alkaline is;- An ALKALI is a soluble Base. or A BASE tat dissolves in water . Metal oxides are bases. If they are soluble , they will dissolve in water and become alkalis.
What name is given to bases that dissolve in water?
when bases are placed in water, the bases release hydroxyl ions.
