Hazard Predictions

No specific evidence was found for a hazardous interaction between noble metals and strong bases. However, strong bases can be highly reactive, so caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.

Copper is very stable in alkali metal hydroxide solutions (Lossin, A. 2001. Copper. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).

Flammable H2 gas may be liberated upon the exposure of bases to less reactive metals (Predicted by comparison to similar reactions, citation needed).
