Why would adding an acid or base lower the pH in a solution?
Adding an acid to a solution will lower it's Ph, but adding a base will raise it's Ph.
How do you lower or higher pH level in your water?
use potash or bicarb to raise Ph and use acid to lower pH
How could you raise the pH of an acid like vinegar to a neutral or higher pH?
lower PH
Does muredic acid raise or lower pH in a pool?
Acid lowers the PH number. You want the pH to be between 7.0 and 7.4. To raise the ph you can use baking soda.
What does adding caustic soda to water raise or lower the pH?
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
Does baking soda raise or lower pH you?
Raise pH
How much acid to add to water to pH9?
None. If you add acid to pure water, you lower the pH below 7. There isn't any way to add acid to water to raise the pH.
Can carbonic acid bind excess hydrogen ions to raise Ph?
No. Carbonic Acid releases hydrogen ins and lowers pH. Carbonates and bicarbonates, which can be derived from it, do bind hydrogen ions and lower pH.
It is determined that a patient is in acidosis What does this mean and would you treat the condition with a chemical that would raise or lower the pH?
The patient has excessive acid in the body fluids. You would treat the patient with a chemical that would raise the pH (lower pH=more acidic, so you need to raise the pH because higher pH=more basic)
Does muratic acid raise pH levels in pool water?
No, adding Muriatic acid will lower the pH value. If you want to raise pH numbers use baking soda and/or soda ash. Test it the next day, after it has a chance to mix evenly using an OTO tester and try to hit a pH of 7.2. Hatawa
Does lime raise or lower pH levels?
Raise
Can you use sodium bisulfate to lower TA?
Sodium bisulfate (AKA sodium hydrogen sulfate or sodium acid sulfate) is an acid that will lower pH. If you lower the pH of a swimming pool buffered with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and maybe cyanuric acid (stabilizer), your alkalinity will go down, along with the pH. But usually, what people want is to lower the alkalinity (or TA) without lowering the pH. When you lower the pH on a carbonate buffered pool, you convert some of the carbonates into carbonic acid, where they no longer contribute to the measured alkalinity. But, as soon as you raise your pH, the carbonic acid switches back to carbonate, and your TA goes right back up with the pH. To actually LOWER the alkalinity, you have to lower the pH, and then REMOVE some of the carbonic acid, which you can do be aerating the pool, since carbonic acid is a form of carbon dioxide gas.
