Bases are bitter-tasting substances with pH above 7 that turn red litmus paper blue; they are prepared through various methods including reaction of metals with water (e.g., Ca + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2), reaction of metal oxides with water (e.g., Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH), double displacement reactions (e.g., AlCl3 + NaOH → Al(OH)3 + NaCl), thermal decomposition of salts (e.g., MgCO3 → MgO + CO2), and reaction of ammonia with water (NH3 + H2O → NH4OH). Some bases like sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are soluble (alkalis), while others like copper hydroxide and zinc hydroxide are insoluble. Amphoteric metals such as zinc, aluminum, and lead can react with both acids and bases, demonstrating their dual acidic-basic nature.
