By diluting the concentration of nitric acid (and the concentration of H+).
pH of nitric acid is '1' or '2'
1 pH
Potassium hydroxide is a powerful base with a pH of 14. Dilute nitric acid is a strong acid with a pH of between 0-1 usually.
it has a pH of 6 or very close to it
1) What is the initial pH of the nitric acid solution?Nitric acid is a strong acid and therefore dissociates almost completely in water. The concentration of the hydronium ions must be .2M as well. This concentration yields a pH of (4) pH = -log[H3O+] = -log(.2) = .7

you can easily prove this by testing nitric acid with pH paper...if the color matches to any of the pH levels form 0-7, it is an acid

raise!
You may be describing nitric acid. However, pH of any acid can vary depending on its concentration.
The solutions of sulphuric acid and Nitric acids also have pH 1 or 2.

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.
Calcium nitrate has a neutral solution (pH=7).
Acids generally have a pH ranging from 1 - 6. pH 1 being the most acidic, and pH 6 being the least acidic. eg, hydrochloric acid, nitric aicd, sulfuric acid has a pH of 1. Ethanoic acid has a pH of 3.
