Hydrogen carbonate (HCO3-) ions will give water a very weak alkaline character with pH of about 7.8 to 8.2.
This is because it has weaker acidic (Ka = 5.6*10-11) than alkaline (Kb = 2.3*10-8) properties. It is an socalled ampholyt, both properties in one ion!

What color does pH paper turn when dipped in water?
Assuming the water is pure... there will be no change - since pure water has a pH of 7.
What substance forms a solution in water with a PH of 7?
Nothing because water is the only substance which has a PH of 7. Anything added to the water would change the PH unless you added pure water to it.
What number is pure water at on pH scale?
The water is nutral so it is at Ph 7
Why would the pH value change for normal tap water?
Because it's not pure water. It has other minerals and additives in it, which throw off the pH a bit. Tap water's pH can vary by region of the country, or world depending upon what else is in it besides water. Even bottled water isn't pure; you have to distill it.
When you add 20.0 ml to water how do you get the pH of 7.0?
Adding 20 mL fresh pure water to fresh pure water: the pH remain unchanged.
What is pH of baking soda?
The pH of Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3) in pure water is pH 8.2 See link below.

Can water have different pH?
Pure water always has pH of 7. Different aqueous solutions may change the pH.
What pH is pure water?
pure water is neutral with a pH of 7
What will be the pH of pure water?
At 100C the pH of pure water is 6.14 which is neutral
How do you change the pH in drinking water?
because pure water (green colour on pH) gives the human-being a sickness thus it has to change or could potentially end in death.:)

What is the pH of NaHCO3?
NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) [at room temperature] will produce a pH of around 8.
Is sodium chloride dissolving in pure water acidic?
No. Sodium chloride is a neutral salt so if it's dissolved in pure water (pH 7) then the pH won't change (as it doesn't release or take in hydrogen ions)
What is the pH of cold water?
If the water is pure, the pH of that is 7, neutral yeah.
What subtance has a pH of 7?
Pure water has a pH of 7.0.
