Know? All bases do not dissolve in water. An alkali is a base that dissolves in water. They are soapy to touch, bitter and corrosive. Never taste or touch them as they may cause harm. Which of the bases in the Table . are alkalis? Now as we have identified that all acids generate H + (aq) and all bases generate OH – (aq), we can view the neutralisation reaction as follows – Acid + Base → Salt + Water H X + M OH → MX + HOH H + (aq) + OH – (aq) → H O(l) Let us see what is involved when water is mixed with an acid or a base.
