Talk:Alkali salt

Calcium carbonate
I'm confused. Calcium carbonate doesn't contain any hydroxide ions, but it's listed. 24.147.72.202 20:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

And the alkali hydroxides are not weak bases. --Russoc4 01:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hydroxides are usually quite strong bases, acid salts can act as both base and acid, and Carbonates doesn't contain any hydroxide ions.
 * (But it IS basic, so saying that only hydroxides are basic salts is wrong too) "Lye" isn't a salt, nor even a nickname for one, it's an aqueous solution of one or more hydroxides.
 * And lastly, just what is a "normal" (or "non-normal" then, for that matter) salt?? I'd change this article but I don't even know where to start..
 * Almost everything in it is just plain wrong.  90.227.181.98 (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Went ahead and changed it, it's a bit shorter now, but atleast it's correct. 90.227.181.98 (talk) 14:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge
I think that this article should be merged with the salt article. The title is confusing, too. Is an alkali salt an alkali, and is an alkali an alkali salt? --Cheminterest (talk) 21:39, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Alkali salts or basic salt?
The title of this page is Alkali salts, but in the context, it says "Basic salt". So should the title be changed to "Basic salt" or should the "Basic salt" in the context be changed to "Alkali salt"? YOSF0113 (talk - contributions) 03:25, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

insoluble
aren't most of them soluble — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.170.229 (talk) 22:29, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Rewrite for clarity
I believe the following sentence can be rewritten to make it clear. The way it is written it does not clearly convey any meaning that adds to the page: "The chloride from the hydrochloric acid in sodium chloride does not hydrolyze, though, so sodium chloride is not basic." 71.172.208.135 (talk) 01:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
