Question

What is common in all the water soluble bases (or alkalis)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bases generate Hydroxide ($OH^{-}$) ions in water.

Explanation:

A common property of all Bases is that they all produce hydroxide ion when they dissolved in water.

The common name of any water soluble base is ALKALI.

but not all bases are alkali. Only those bases are that dissolve in water are called called ALKALIES.

When the  Bases react with the acid they neutralize themselves.

As they are usually metal oxides, metal hydroxide, metal carbonates.

Many bases are soluble in water that they dissolve in water called as Alkalis.

Answer 2

Production of Hydroxide ion is the Common Property

Explanation:

• Bases generate hydroxide ($OH^-$) ions in water.

• A common property of all bases is that they all produce hydroxide ion when dissolved in water.

• Sodium hydroxide will react with acids to produce water and ionic compound. The hydroxide from sodium hydroxide reacts with the hydrogen ion in the acid, making water.

For example, sodium hydroxide (NaOH, a base) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) give sodium chloride—common salt—and water through the reaction

NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + HOH ($H_2O$).
