Yes. Ph is a measurement of the concentration of the hydronium ion [H+]. If you add more water you change the concentration.

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.
Does boiling water affect its pH?
Adding water will affect the pH. Adding water will shift the pH towards the neutral mark. In the case of an alkaline solution, there will be a decrease in pH.
Does adding water effect the pH of an acidic solution?
yes it adds alkaline- well it depends what pH water you get, if its more acidic it'll make the pH change but so will alkaline.
What causes the pH of a solution increase?
adding a base.
On addition of concentrated Hydro chloric acid to water does the pH of the acid change?
Yes, pH depends both on the strength of the acid and the concentration. Adding the acid to water will dilute it, creating a solution with a higher pH.
Does adding salt to fresh water in and of itself change the pH of the water?
The pH is unchanged.
Does adding water to a base make the pH higher or lower?
The pH become lower.
How do you change the pH to become more basic?
Adding a base to the solution.
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.
Does adding salt to freshwater aquariums change the Ph level of the water?
No
Which causes the pH of a solution of a solution to increase?
Adding a base
What causes the pH of solution to increase?
Adding a base will make the pH go up (increasing of OH- ions concentration).
How do you change the pH of a water solution?
Add an acid or a base to it.
Does adding water change the pH of an acid?
water is amphoteric in nature with acid it behaves like base and with base it behaves like acid.when water is added to the acid it behaves like a base and neutralises it to some extent and thus the pH of acid decreases on adding water.Answer 2:When you add water to the acid, you are diluting it and making it weaker therefore the pH will decrease (the value will get closer to 7 on a pH scale).
Does boiling water affect its pH?
Adding water will affect the pH. Adding water will shift the pH towards the neutral mark. In the case of an alkaline solution, there will be a decrease in pH.
If a base is added to an acidic solution what happens to the ph?
Adding base will increase pH-level
What can cause the pH of a solution to increase?
Adding a base the pH increases.
