Lesson on Bases and Alkalis
Answer Text: Bases:- Are substances which accept the protons donated by acids and are hence proton acceptors.#NH_3(aq) + H^(+) to NH_4^(+) (aq)##CuO(s) +2H^(+) (aq)to Cu^(2+)(aq) +H_2O(l)#Alkalis:An alkali is a soluble base i.e. a base that is soluble in water.- They are compounds, which produce hydroxyl ions in aqueous solutions#NaOH(aq) to Na^(+)(aq) + OH^(-) (aq)#Note: -When an acid proton reacts with a base (hydroxyl ions) in aqueous solution, a neutralization reaction occurs.
