alkaline solution
High pH mixture
An alkaline solution is a liquid with a pH above 7, meaning it contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.
Common examples include baking soda dissolved in water, household ammonia, and lye.
Alkaline solutions feel slippery to the touch and can neutralize acids: The chemist added an alkaline solution to bring the mixture to neutral pH.
