Alkalines, or bases, have a pH greater than 7 (maximum is 14).
Any aqueous solution that has a pH value greater than 7 can be considered alkaline. A strongly alkaline aqueous solution usually has a pH of at least 10, and aqueous solutions of very strong alkalies can have a pH range above 13.
The pH range of an alkali solution is typically greater than 7, indicating that it is basic or alkaline. Alkali solutions have pH values above 7, with stronger alkalis having higher pH values.
no they alkaline solutions have a pH higher than 7
"Dirty" does not define any particular pH range for water. Water can be contaminated by acids, alkalis or neutral materials.
The pH range for alkali substances is typically between 7.1 and 14. Alkalis have pH values greater than 7, indicating their basic nature.
Acids have a pH under 7, alkalis have a pH bigger than 7.
pH paper turns blue or purple in alkalis.

Sodium hydroxide and ammonia are basic solutions because they are both alkalis that release hydroxide ions in water, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and raising the pH above 7.
Acidic solutions have a pH under 7.
Acids can range from 6.9 to 0 on the pH scale, with a solution with a pH of 6.9 being extremely weak, and a solution with a pH of 0 being as strong as 1.0 mol/l [H3O+].Added:(For even higher concentration the pH value can be negative, eg. 2.0 M strong acid has pH = - 0.3)
Among aqueous solutions at 25C, those with a pH value below 7.0 are called "acids", those with a pH value of 7.0 are called "neutral", and those with a pH value greater than 7.0 are called "alkalis" or "bases".
