It is both. It releases a steady amount of both as it dissolves.
Type your answer here... Borax is a base
basic
When borax is dissolved in water it ionizes and hydrolysis of borate ion gives OH (the hydroxyl ion) and boric acid. Since boric acid is a weak acid AND Na-OH is strong a alkali an aqueous solution of borax is alkaline in nature.
borax solution is half a cup of water and 1 tablespoon of borax
base

contains hydroxide ions.
yes it is a acid
An acid or base is never a single element, it is a solution, and a solution that contains H+ OR OH- in it, so oxygen is neither an acid nor base.
An acid solution has a pH under 7.A base solution has a pH over 7.
Buffer solution is a type of solution which contains acid and at the same time a base material. The two components are a weak acid and a conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
Oviously a base...
