No, the lower the PH level in the solution, under 7 (which is the neutral number) until 0, the higher the acid level. The higher the PH level in the solution is, over seven and until 14, the higher the base level.

Why does the pH level increase during the reaction between magnisium and hydrochloric acid?
technically, pH measures the amount of H+ in solution, so the lower the pH the more acidic the solution.. ("p" is a -log function, so pH is the same as -log of the concentration of H+) so when magnesium reacts with the acid, the acid (the substance which dissociates to produce H+ in solution) is being used up, so there's less H+ in solution, so the acidity of the solution drop, and the pH level rises.
What quantity can tell you weather a solution is acid or base?
pH level Check the pH level of the solution with a piece of litmus paper.
What does adding alkali to acid do to pH?
The solution become more and more alkaline and the pH increase.
What happens to the pH if a small amount of strong acid is added to an non buffered solution?
It will all depend on the amount of solution and the amount of acid that you add. It will move the pH closer to 7. If the amount of solution is rather small, the pH will move further towards the acid side.
What is the pH level in vineger?
Vinegar is a 10% aqueous solution of Acetic acid, a weak acid so its pH value is about 6.
What are other ph decreasers?
Adding an acid to a solution can cause the ph to decrease. Looking at things in the molecular level a good acid or something that will be able to decrease the ph will be anything that can easily donate an H+ ion to a solution. Strong acids are examples

What does an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution cause?
Two things: and increase both in i) the caustic powers resulting from the dissolution of an acid in water: due to the fact that H+ [hydrogen ions] are what makes an acid An Acid; and ii) an increase in the readings on the pH - level of acid/base - Scale.

If a base is added to an acidic solution what happens to the ph?
Adding base will increase pH-level
What causes pH levels to increase?
There are several ways to increase the pH: * Adding a basic or alkali substance, e.g. NaOH, or a basic salt, e.g. CaCO3. * Consumption of the acid in a solution will cause the pH levels to increase (e.g Acid reacting with a metal) * The solution can be absorbing ammonia from the air * Temperature changes can affect pH * Electrolysis of some solutions can produce lowered pH values in the solution
WHY pH increases of strong acid when diluted?
When the acid is is diluted; its pH has a chance increase above seven and nake the sample;solution; Etc acidic.
What pH level is Hydrochloric acid?
pH depends on the concentration of the acid as well as how strong it is. A 1.0M solution ( a measure of the number of molecules per liter) has a pH of 0 but a more dilute solution will have a higher (less acidic pH).
How does the pressence of an acid in a water solution affect the pH of the solution?
An acid is capable of releasing (donating) protons to watermolecules, thus lowering the pH to acidic level (below 7, in water)
