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."

∙ 11y agoWhen the amount of hydrogen ion in a solution is increased, the pH of the solution will be lowered.
pH is a measure of the Hydrogen Ion Concentration (H+). The greater the concentration of H+ in a solution, the more acidic the solution is and the lower the pH.
Water has a pH of 7 on the scale between 1-14 and is considered neutral. A pH greater than 7 is basic, and a pH less is considered acidic.
Lemon Juice has a pH of 2
Gastric Acid has a pH of 1
Bleach has a pH of 13
Baking soda has a pH of 9

Is A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7.4?
A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than one with a pH of 7.4. Any solution with a lower pH is more acidic, and any with a higher pH is more alkaline.
A solution with a pH of 5 has how many more protons in it than a solution with a pH of 7?
It depends on what the solution is. What affects the pH is the element. If there are more H+ ions in the solution you're referring to, the solution will be more acidic (lower pH). If there are more (OH)- ions in the solution, the solution will be more basic (higher pH).
How is concentration of a solution related with pH?
The more concentrated an acid is the lower its PH will be. The more concentrated a bace is the higher its PH will be.
What are pH levels for?
pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. For more information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH
Higher the number on the pH scale the more acidic a solution?
The solution is basic.

Is pH of a basic solution higher or lower than pH of a acid solution?
A basic pH is higher than an acidic or neutral pH.
Higher the number on the pH scale the more acidic a solution?
The solution is basic.
What are the pH levels of solution?
Different solutions have different pH levels. A solution can either be acidic or bascic, but water i niether, it is nuetral.
How does a solution with a pH of 7 compare to a solution with a pH of 5?
Lower pHs are more acidic Higher pHs are more basic. Therefore, the pH of 5 will be more acidic than pH of 7 ** also, the pH of 7 is neutral. Edit by Kelvin876: Higher pHs are alkalines. **Each number lower is 10 times greater in acidity than the prior number. This would mean that a solution with a pH of 5 is 100 times greater in acidity compared to a solution with a pH of 7.
Do higher levels of pH indicate high levels of bacteria?
lower the pH the higher chances of it getin killed because it will get denatured and at pH 7 or close to 7 (neutral) there would be good growth..
What would happen if ph5 was diluted by water?
The ph is a measure of the H+ve ion in the solution, the lesser the ph number means higher acidic the solution is where as the higher ph number means more of basic solution. If you add water to a solution with ph5 it will be introduced with more oh OH-ve ion which will make it first neutral(ph=7) or even basic in nature.
What is the pH range of the various pH levels?
The pH scale goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral; the lower the number, the more acidic the solution.
Does the pH get higher or lower when the solution becomes more acidic?
Decreasing pH < 7 acidic, Increasing pH > 7 basic
