  2. Calcium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide

    Calcium hydroxide is modestly soluble in water, as seen for many dihydroxides. Its solubility increases from 0.66 g/L at 100 °C to 1.89 g/L at 0 °C. [8] Its solubility product K sp of 5.02 × 10 −6 at 25 °C, [1] its dissociation in water is large enough that its solutions are basic according to the following dissolution reaction:

  3. Alkali hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_hydroxide

    Alkali hydroxides are formed in the reaction between alkali metals and water. A typical school demonstration demonstrates what happens when a piece of an alkali metal is introduced to a bowl of water. A vigorous reaction occurs, producing hydrogen gas and the specific alkali hydroxide. For example, if sodium is the alkali metal:

  4. Alkali - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali

    A basic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal [2] (this includes Mg(OH) 2 (magnesium hydroxide) but excludes NH 3 ). Any base that is soluble in water and forms hydroxide ions [3] [4] or the solution of a base in water. [5] (This includes both Mg(OH) 2 and NH 3, which forms NH 4 OH.) The second subset of bases is also called an ...

  5. Solubility chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_chart

    The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.

  6. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

    [7] In this process, the water molecule combines with a strong base, due to the water's amphoteric ability; and, a hydroxide ion is released. [7] Very strong bases can even deprotonate very weakly acidic C–H groups in the absence of water. Here is a list of several strong bases:

  7. Hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxide

    A solution or suspension of calcium hydroxide is known as limewater and can be used to test for the weak acid carbon dioxide. The reaction Ca(OH) 2 + CO 2 ⇌ Ca 2+ + HCO − 3 + OH − illustrates the basicity of calcium hydroxide. Soda lime, which is a mixture of the strong bases NaOH and KOH with Ca(OH) 2, is used as a CO 2 absorbent.

  8. Alkalinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkalinity

    Perhaps the most well known is the dissolution of calcium carbonate to form Ca 2+ and CO 2− 3 (carbonate). The carbonate ion has the potential to absorb two hydrogen ions. Therefore, it causes a net increase in ocean alkalinity. Calcium carbonate dissolution occurs in regions of the ocean which are undersaturated with respect to calcium ...

  9. Basic oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_oxide

    A basic oxide, also called a base anhydride (meaning "base without water"), is usually formed in the reaction of oxygen with metals, especially alkali (group 1) and alkaline earth (group 2) metals. Both of these groups form ionic oxides that dissolve in water to form basic solutions of the corresponding metal hydroxide :
