Friedrich Bergius

Even in the investigations into direct production of calcium peroxide in an alkali melt with highly compressed oxygen, it was found to be necessary to bring the high-pressure gas into contact with the suspension of lime in caustic alkali melt by agitation or some other means of mixing.

German Scientist

Alkali is used to neutralize acids, a common reaction in chemistry.

Neutralization Reaction

Many cleaning products contain alkali substances that react to stains.

Common Products

Alkalis have a pH greater than 7 and feel slippery to the touch.

pH Scale

Alkali soils can harm plants, so farmers must carefully manage them.

Agricultural Challenge

Alkali soils often contain clay and can be hard and crusty when dry.

Soil Texture

Excessive alkali makes the soil saline, affecting water absorption.

Salinity Issues

Alkali metals react violently with water and must be handled carefully.

High Reactivity

Alkali metals are often soft and have a shiny luster when cut.

Soft and Shiny

Alkali metals are stored in oil to prevent reactions with air.

Stored in Oil
