Can an acid increase the pH level of a solution?
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.
Does a lemon or apple have a higher pH level to light up a light bulb?
A lemon has a lower pH due to its higher acidic quality
Does a solution with a pH of 5 have a lower concentration then that with a pH of 10?
Yes, the higher the pH level, the higher the concentration. anything with a pH over 7 is a base and anything under 7 is an acid.
Which water has the highest pH level?
Purified water is neutral and has a pH level of 7 but sea water has a pH level of 8 making it a base.
What is the pH level in soft water?
To define pH you need to define the temperature you are talking about - at higher temperature, pH increases.
Is the PH level of faucet water higher or lower than the PH level of precipitation rain?
It depends on where you are. If your water comes from aquifers that are in limestone rock and you are near an industrial are it is likely the faucet water will be slightly higher pH than the rain water.
Does adding water to a base make the pH higher or lower?
The pH become lower.
Does temperature affect the pH level of different types of acid?
Yes, because temperature effects the concentration of hydrogen ions, which effects pH values: The higher Temperature, the higher [H+] , the lower pH. Even in pure water pH is lower: Neutral H2O at 37°C >> pH=6.81
Why are fish unable to survive in water with extereme pH levels?
7.0 is a neutral PH level. Lower than this makes the water more acidic and higher makes the water more alkaline.
Can an acid increase the pH level of a solution?
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.
What is the pH level of dressing?
It depends on the kind of salad dressing. It can be a vinaigrette with a higher pH or a creamy dressing with a lower pH.

Yes, the higher the pH level, the higher the concentration. anything with a pH over 7 is a base and anything under 7 is an acid.
Why is the sea water and freshwater pH different?
Since sea water is much denser than freshwater, the pH level would be higher. The saline levels in the sea water contributes to a higher acidic level.
Does a solution of baking soda and water have a lower pH that baking soda alone?
Pure baking soda does not have a pH. pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution (a solution where water is the solvent). But if you have baking soda, or any alkaline substance, in a higher concentration (i.e. more dissolved in the same amount of water) the pH will be higher, if it is in a lower concentration, the pH will be lower.
