Question: What is the formula of Potassium hydroxide? What is it common name? Is it Alkali?

Answer: The formula of Potassium hydroxide is KOH. It's common name is Caustic Potash. Yes, it is alkali because Potassium is the most reactive metal.
It is very strong base because it has potassium atom which is the most reactive element. It turns red litmus paper into blue which proves that it is basic in nature.
