Normally human urine has a pH of about 6 which makes it an acid. However if something is not right the pH of urine can be higher or lower which could make the urine basic but this is not normal.

Baking powder to remove cat urine if no baking soda available?

Baking soda does not help with removing the smell of cat urine, because both are basic/alkaline. Baking powder has both an acid and a base so is not helpful as these cancel out each other and you need more acid to cancel out the urine's alkalinity.Vinegar or Cream of Tartar are more useful on urine smells as their acid reacts with the alkaliner of the urine to neutralise it.

In alkalosis, bicarbonate (HCO3-) may be increased in the urine as the kidneys attempt to excrete excess bicarbonate to help restore acid-base balance. Additionally, potassium (K+) may also be excreted in the urine in alkalosis due to the shift of hydrogen ions into the cells in an attempt to correct the acid-base imbalance.


Why is urine acidic in the human body?
