A base that dissolves in water is called a soluble base or aqueous base.
The conjugate base for the hydronium ion (H3O+) is indeed water
An acid and a base react to form water and a salt
Water is neutral, with a pH of 7. It is not an acid or a base.
Base should be added slowly into water, while stirring continuously. This helps prevent splashing or sudden release of heat, which could be hazardous. Never add water into base as it can cause a violent reaction.
Distilled water is not a base.
A base doesn't react with water; the base may be soluble in water.

An acid and a base react to form water and a salt
water is responsible for ionization of acid and base, without water the terms acid and base are meaningless.
Hydroxide ions (OH-) by deprotonating water: [base]- + H2O --> H[base] + OH-
when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
A base or alkali affects the pH water by increasing it.
Water is neutral, with a pH of 7. It is not an acid or a base.
Base should be added slowly into water, while stirring continuously. This helps prevent splashing or sudden release of heat, which could be hazardous. Never add water into base as it can cause a violent reaction.
It is safer to add the base slowly to water while stirring, rather than adding water to the base. This helps prevent the mixture from splashing or reacting violently, which can occur when adding water to a concentrated base.
