A neutral solution has a pH of 7

A base (properties of bases) Does not react with carbonates.

Solutes lower the freezing point of water by. making it harder for water to form crystals.

A polar solvent will most likely dissolve polar solute

Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide all produce hydroxide ions in water and are therefore Bases.
