Different solutions have different pH levels. A solution can either be acidic or bascic, but water i niether, it is nuetral.
A basic solution.
pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. For more information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH
add a solution to it that has a low pH level (an acid) to neutralise it, or bring it down slightly. What is it that has the high pH?
There are several ways to increase the pH: * Adding a basic or alkali substance, e.g. NaOH, or a basic salt, e.g. CaCO3. * Consumption of the acid in a solution will cause the pH levels to increase (e.g Acid reacting with a metal) * The solution can be absorbing ammonia from the air * Temperature changes can affect pH * Electrolysis of some solutions can produce lowered pH values in the solution
The pH scale goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral; the lower the number, the more acidic the solution.

The Ph of a base can't really increase, basicity is dependent on the P(OH) value of the base. I take it you mean "solution" in which case the answer would be: "When the pH of a solution increases, the solution becomes more basic/alkaline."
Neutral solution: pH =7Acidic solution: pH7.
Althoug it is amphoteric (can be both acidic and basic) a pure solution of it will slightly increase pH by formation of hydroxide.
A solution with a pH of 7 compared to a solution with a pH of 9 would be more acidic.
A pH 2 solution is 100,000 times more acidic than a pH 7 solution. pH 2 is acidic whereas pH 7 is neutral
The PH level of chemicals have different PH levels ranging from 1-14, in your case, neutralisation means mixing two chemicals of different PH levels so that they both cancel each other's PH level and making the PH level of the solution 7.Or you could say making a chemical neutral Ie OK to swallow...Neutralization is the process of bringing a substance or solution with a pH other than 7 to a neutral state (pH of 7) by adding either acid or base.
The pH will be 7.that is, it is neutral
