Hi! Are alkaline solutions the same thing as a basic solution?

Yes, all alkaline solutions are basic with pH>7!

Yes, alkaline solutions are referring to basic solutions, which have a pH>7 and have a higher hydroxide concentration than hydronium concentration.

Yes, alkaline solutions are the same as basic solutions! Both refer to a solution with a pH greater than 7, meaning there is a higher concentration of OH- than H3O+.
