== Production ==
Alkali hydroxides are formed in the reaction between [[alkali metals]] and water. A typical school demonstration demonstrates what happens when a piece of an alkali metal is introduced to a bowl of water. A vigorous reaction occurs, producing [[hydrogen]] gas and the specific alkali hydroxide. For example, if sodium is the alkali metal:
:Sodium + water → sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas
