If I increase alkalinity in my pool will that increase pH?
No. Alkalinity neutralize the acids. Based on how much you put in, will cause a reduction in your pH levels.
What does a low PH number in urine indicate?
PH shows how alkaline or acidic the fluid is. Low pH urine means acidic urine. When you eat food the urine turns alkaline shortly after that and becomes acidic at times when you are not eating. And therefore Starvation is a highly possible reason for low pH. Other than starvation, medications, diarrhea and kidney problems may cause low pH urine.
How antacid affect urine pH?
Antacid neutralizes acidity in stomach. It's effect to the stomach is due to partial neutralizations of gastric hydrochloric acid and inhibition of enzyme, pepsin. Hence, the urine pH will increase.
How pH of culture be influenced by urea hydrolysis?
It will cause the culture to become more basic...an increase in pH
What is the normal pH level in urine?
The pH value for normal human urine is about 6.6, acidic.
What can cause the pH of a solution to increase?
Adding a base the pH increases.
Which cause the pH of solution to increase?
Adding a base
What effect may bacterial contamination have on urine pH?
Bacterial contamination will cause no effects if the sample is tested directly after collection. However, if the sample is allowed to sit, bacteria will multiply and raise the urine pH. Urine pH above 8 is abnormal.

What is the Best urine pH?
The PH value for human urine can range anywhere from 5 and 8.5 but most often is found between 5.5 and 7.5 in healthy individuals with a balanced diet. A value of 6 is average. High protein diets can lower PH (more acidic) and Vegetarian diets raise PH values (more alkaline). Urinary infection will increase PH value.
Is pH paper for fish tanks good for urine tests?
No. Water has a different ph from urine.
What is the normal pH level in urine?
The pH value for normal human urine is about 6.6, acidic.
How does a urinary tract infection influence urine pH?
It results in a high ph, become more basic
Could the metabolism of fat explain the presence of ketones and the low pH of the urine?
Yes, metabolism of fats is a reason and can cause the presence of ketones and can lower pH levels. To make it simple, ketones form from rapid or incomplete oxidation (breaking down) of fats from the liver and forms ketones. Ketones are strong acids and this is why it can cause a lowering of pH in the urine.
