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)[reply]

I answered on talk:salt. --Dirk Beetstra T C 21:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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


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..
