Question

ALL ALKALIES ARE BASES BUT ALL BASES ARE NOT ALKALIES. EXPLAIN

Answer 1

$\boxed{AHOYMATEYY!!!}$

A base is a substance that reacts with and neutralizes an acid. The equation for an acid is :  Acid + Base ----> Salt + Water

Bases may either be soluble or insoluble i water. When something is soluble in water it simply means a compound will give off OH⁻ (hydroxyl) ions when it is place in water.

When a base is soluble in water it is called an alkali. The equation would be : NaOH ----> Na + OH⁻

Hence, all alkalis are bases because they all neutralizes an acid, but not all bases are alkali because not all bases will dissolve in water. Ex : NaOH
