It depend on the chemical composition of salt
If it is acidic or basic it will change the pH. The common salt (NaCl) is neutral in nature so it doesn't change the pH

Yes, a salt can be acidic, when it has PH<7 in solution; eg. NH4Cl, (NH4+)aq is a weak acid.

Does temperature affect the pH levels in salt water the ocean?
Yes
PH of salts insoluble in water?
If the salt is insoluble, any ions in water and the measured pH is the pH of water.
What is the pH value of sea water?
The pH value of salt water is 8.
Does salt water have a pH?
"Does Salt Change the pH of Water?It depends upon the pH of the water into which the salt is being introduced. Chemically speaking, salt is a basecompound, falling smack in the center of the acid-alkaline spectrum (at 7). If introduced to water which has a high pH, the pH might be lowered incrementally toward the center of the pH spectrum depending on how much water there was and how much salt was introduced. If the water had a very low pH, making it very acidic, the salt would increase the pH toward the center of the spectrum."
What is the pH level of salt added to water?
If it is common salt ( sodium chloride) the pH should not alter as they are both neutral substances at pH = 7.
Does temperature affect the pH levels in salt water the ocean?
Yes
Is it possible for the pH of the road salt to affect the pH of the acid rain?
No, it is not possible.
Does salt residue from beach pebbles affect the pH levels of an aquarium?
The residue on the pebbles is not just salt. It contains very many elements that go into sea water. The pH will be effected (raised) if sufficient sea salt is added.

Does Limestone rock affect your salt water pool Ph levels and does the rocks breakdown from the salt?
I just conducted an experiment with a small amount of limstone in beakers of acids and bases and the Ph levels stayed the same.
Is salt and water neutral on the pH scale?
Water solution of salt is neutral.
What is the pH level of salt added to water?
If it is common salt ( sodium chloride) the pH should not alter as they are both neutral substances at pH = 7.
Does adding salt to fresh water in and of itself change the pH of the water?
The pH is unchanged.
Does ozone affect pH?
No, ozone does not affect PH of water. However as ozone is a powerful oxidizer it can oxidize compounds in the water that may indirectly change the PH of the water.
What is the pH of Epsom salt when mixed with water?
The water solution of Epsom salt is neutral.
