A solution with a pH greater than 7
An alternate term for a basic solution is alkaline solution.
aqueous
You are producing a salt (or brine) solution.
Dilute
Litmus paper can be used to determine if a solution is acidic or basic
0- 14 the pH scale.
An alternate term for a basic solution is alkaline solution.
Litmus solution is used to test whether a substance is acidic or basic. It turns red in an acidic solution and blue in a basic solution. It is commonly used in science laboratories and in various industrial applications to determine the pH of a solution.
Neutral
aqueous
A soluble base is commonly referred to as an alkali. Alkalis are compounds that release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water, making the solution basic.
There are no common basic solutions used in cooking. You can still find some, however. You can make a basic solution by dissolving baking soda into water. An egg white solution would be slightly basic and it could be used to make meringues and foams. Also, a lye solution (NaOH) can be used in factories to remove skins from fruits like tomatoes and peaches. The most common basic solution used in the kitchen is bleach and it is used for cleaning. Degreaser solutions can also be a base.
pH strips are used to determine whether a solution is acidic or basic
acidic or basic and this is depending on what color it turns. If the unknown solution falls below 7 on the pH scale, then it is acidic but if it is more than 7 then it is basic. But if it falls straight on 7 then it is neutral. :)
The final solution
A mixture.
