An increase of acid occurs when there are OH- ions in a solution. The hydroxide ion is a diatomic anion with chemical formula OH. It consists of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom held together by a covalent bond, and carrying a negative electrical charge.

Is a substance with equal numbers of H ions of OH - ions an alkaline solution?

No. If the number of H+ and OH- ions are equal then the solution is neutral. A solution is considered alkaline if it has more OH- ions than H+ ions.
