No. It reacts during an acid-base neutralization.

Yes, in a solute-solvent neutralization process, a hydronium ion (H3O+) reacts with a hydroxide ion (OH-) to form water. The reaction neutralizes the solution by balancing the concentrations of H+ and OH- ions.
The solute is the thing that dissolves, in this case the sodium hydroxide. The solvent is the thing that dissolves it, in this case the water. The result is neither solvent nor solute, but a solution. It could be used as a solvent for some other material.
A strong base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) can ionize completely in a solvent, producing hydroxide ions (OH-) in high concentrations. These bases dissociate completely in solution, making them strong electrolytes that readily conduct electricity.
When an alkaline solution is repeatedly diluted, the concentration of hydroxide ions decreases. This is because the amount of the alkaline substance is being spread out in more volume of solvent, resulting in a lower concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution.
All types of alkali are bases, as they react with acids in order to undergo neutralization. Although, all bases are not alkali, as all bases do not dissolve in a solvent to make a solution.
Sodium hydroxide is not soluble in toluene. Toluene is a nonpolar solvent, while sodium hydroxide is an ionic compound that is highly soluble in water but not in nonpolar solvents like toluene.
Acetic acid is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change. Sodium hydroxide, a base, is added to the solution, but the pH of the solution does not change.
No, polyethylene glycol does not react with sodium hydroxide solution. Polyethylene glycol is a non-reactive polymer that is often used as a solvent, while sodium hydroxide is a strong base used for various chemical reactions. Mixing the two will not result in a chemical reaction.
the solvent
You are probably looking for "dilute" but that is wrong, dilute is relative. A dilute solution of table salt (sodium chloride) can be a very different concentration to a dilute solution of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).
Sodium hydroxide is typically added slowly to the conical flask containing the analgesic after the analgesic has been dissolved in a solvent like ethanol. The sodium hydroxide solution is added drop by drop while stirring to form a clear solution, indicating the completion of the reaction.
