Bases have a pH above 7. These are of two types. The one which is soluble is called ALKALIES. The one which are insoluble are called INSOLUBLE BASE. Not all bases are soluble but only some of them are soluble. Eg: Ammonia, Aq. NaOH, etc are alkalies; they are soluble.

What are the differences between bases and alkali in chemistry?

Bases are substances that can accept protons according to the Brønsted-Lowry definition, while alkalis are bases that are soluble in water. Essentially, all alkalis are bases, but not all bases are alkalis. Alkalis typically release hydroxide ions in solution, while bases may or may not release hydroxide ions depending on their solubility in water.


Are alkalies and base same?

Yes,alkalies and bases are the same. An alkali is a soluble salt of an alkali metal like sodium or potassium. Today, the term alkali describes a substance that chemically is a base (the opposite of an acid).


Why alkalies are bases but bases are not alkalies?

Because, "alkali" is basically the term for a base in a liquid form, whereas a base is an alkali in a liquid or gas form so cannot be called an alkali because it is not liquid. A base which is soluble in water is called an alkali. Both react with acids in an identical manner. (Base + Acid --> Salt + Water).


Are all bases soluble more specifically is H3BO3 soluble?

No, only alkalies, the bases of Ist group of periodic table are soluble in water, H3BO3 is an acid Boric acid and it is insoluble in water.


A compound that dissolves in water to give hydroxide ions as the only negeative ions are what?

such compounds are bases or alkalies.


Are alkalies ionic or covalent?

If you just mean compounds that are alkaline (basic), they can be either. Sodium carbonate and potassium hydroxide are ionic bases, while ammonia and phosphine are covalent bases.


What is the SIC Code for Alkalies and chlorine?

SIC 2812 applies to ALKALIES AND CHLORINE.


What is the pH of alkalies?

Alkalies are basic substances (pH under 7).


What is the NAICS Code for Alkalies and Chlorine Manufacturing?

NAICS 325181 applies to Alkalies and Chlorine Manufacturing.


Are all alkalis dissolved in water?

Not all alkalis are soluble in water. The solubility of an alkali in water depends on its specific chemical properties. Some alkalis like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) are highly soluble in water, while others may have limited solubility or be insoluble.


Why carbon unaffected by aqueous alkalies?

Carbon is unaffected by aqueous alkalies because it does not react with them under normal conditions. The strong basic nature of alkalies like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) is not strong enough to break the strong carbon-carbon bonds in carbon. This makes carbon resistant to corrosion or reaction with alkalies.
