How do I know if a gas will dissolve to form an alkali?
I have a Chem past paper and there are four gases and I am supposed to choose the one which would dissolve to form an alkali and I have no idea which one it is or how I would work it out.
I choose best answers, thanks in advance
Thanks for the quick answer, that is what I did first but the gases are:
HBr
NH3
CO2
CH4
It may just be a case of of knowing a specific gas dissolves into an alkali and there not being a specific rule

It's easy. Just look at which one has a cation in the alkali metal group that isn't Hydrogen. It's likely that the alkali compound is being represented at a very high temperature, because technically any compound or element can exist as a gas at a high enough temperature.
