Alkaline (basic)

Explanation:

Acid solutions range from pH <=77.

Neutral solutions are a pH of 77.

Alkaline solutions range from pH >=77

Note:

pH can also be 0, negative, and go above 14 if the hydrogen ion concentration satisfies the pH equation (pH = -log[H^+]log[H+]) .

color (green)("Basic")Basic

Explanation:

Remember this
solution with
pH >7pH>7 is color (indigo)("basic")basic
pH <7pH<7 is color (indigo)("acidic")acidic
pH=7pH=7 is color (indigo)("neutral")neutral
All at temperature slightly less than color(red)(25°C)

So, the given solution with pH=8 is basic according to the information mentioned above.

Know why i mentioned temperature also ?
consider a glass of water its pH=7, when you heat it , ph begins to lower down , this doesn't mean that water becomes acidic but it means that k equilibrium has shifted , in simple words the number of both cations and anions rose .
