No, just a mixture of two bases.

No. The pH scale works like this: acids are from 0-about 7, 7 is neutral, and a little more than 7-14 is basic. So base+base=base. If you added an 8 to a 10, I guess it would average out to 9, but it would never be low enough to be an acid. You'll never get two bases to equal an acid.

If you add a base to a water solution containing another base, for instance NaOH to a NH3 solution you have a strong base (NaOH) and a wake base (NH3) in water.
But if you add a very strong base e.g. CH3- to pure NH3, the following reaction takes place:
CH3- + NH3 â CH4 + NH2-
And so ammonia, a base in water, is an acid if compared to CH3-.
Acidity and basicity aren't absolute concepts but relative ones!

No, still a base

No, but the PH number can change. There are strong and weak bases as there are strong and weak acids.

No. It becomes a mixture of bases.
Acid plus base --> salt plus water.

no most definitely not......two bases cannot make an acid......they form what is called a mixture, because more than less they can be easily separated...
