The pH of the solution become 11-12.
base
it tells you if the solution is an acid or alkaline.
a neutral
With the right proportions, the solution will be neutral.

An ammonia solution is alkaline.
a neutral
With the right proportions, the solution will be neutral.
Because 'sdoium stearate' is the conjugate base of the weak carboxylic acid 'stearic acid'. Since a solution of stearic acid would be slightly acidic, a solution of sodium stearate will be basic or alkaline.
Ammonia may neutralized aqueous acids and after heating the solution is no more basic or alkaline.
Litmus paper is basically used to test nature of solution i.e acid or alkaline. For acid blue litmus turns to red. But for alkaline red litmus turns to blue color.
alkaline obviously! strong acid + strong base= neutral strong acid + weak base= acidic weak acid + strong base= alkaline
Adding an acid base indicator to a sodium hydroxide solution can verify that it is an alkaline solution. For example, phenolphthalein turns pink in an NaOH solution.
It will turn neutral depending on the strength of both
