When borax is dissolved in water it ionizes and hydrolysis of borate ion gives OH (the hydroxyl ion) and boric acid. Since boric acid is a weak acid AND Na-OH is strong a alkali an aqueous solution of borax is alkaline in nature.

What is the nature of an aqueous solution of borax?
weakly basic
What pH do Alkalis have?
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.
Which substance neutralize acid without leaving an alkaline solution?
Ammonia may neutralized aqueous acids and after heating the solution is no more basic or alkaline.
Is borax an acid?
no, borax is like an alkaline
Why the aqueous solution of sodium acetate is alkaline?
Because when it reacts with water it produces strong base which makes the solution basic
What is the nature of an aqueous solution of borax?
weakly basic
Is an aqueous solution of ammonia alkaline in nature?
Yes, this solution (NH4OH, ammonium hydroxide) is alkaline.
Why is aqueous solution sodium extract alkaline?
Because this solution contain sodium hydroxide.

Is hexane acidic or alkaline?
Neither. Acidic and alkaline are terms that refer to pH, and pH is only used for aqueous solution. Hexane is NOT soluble in water, and as such, pH is not relevant.
What is the solution process with water as the solvent?
This solution is called water solution or aqueous solution.
What happens when aqueous ammonia is added to sodium hydroxide?
They would not react each other and would result in an alkaline solution.
What is borax solution?
borax solution is half a cup of water and 1 tablespoon of borax
Water is a solvent in a(n) what solution?
'An Aqueous' solution. NB The word 'aqueous' comes from Latin ; 'aqua' meaning 'water'.
