the more hydroxide ions releases, the more basic the solution becomes. and the solution has more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.
hydroxide anion, OH-: alkaline solution hydrogen cation, H+; hydronium cation, (H3O)+: acidic solution
"Base" is a more general term. For a base to be alkaline it has to be soluble in water and it has to be formed from an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal.
Solutions with a pH over 7 are basic, and the higher the number, the stronger a base they are. A solution with a pH of 8 is a base.
An alkali is a soluble base. Therefore, alkaline solutions are sources of hydroxide ions, OH- . A base is a proton acceptor, so the alkaline solution will neutralise an acid.

The terms alkaline and base are synonymous.
A base is yellow with methyl orange.

Many cleaning products such as oven cleaner contain sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Also, antacids contain a base (base = alkaline) to reduce the acidity of the stomach.

pH and pOH
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.
Alkaline is just a solution form of base such as liquid sodium hydroxyde
The pH of the solution become 11-12.
A pH level of 7 is neutral. Acidic solutions have pH values less than 7. Basic solutions have pH values higher than 7......so your answer is... it is a BASE
