Acid on the PH scale is from 1 to 6. water being 7 and anything above seven to 14 being a base. Adding an acid with a ph of 1 with water makes it a 3.5 on the ph scale. How?, The acid's H+ or H3O- became less concentrated when water was added.

Will H2C2O4 increase decrease or no change in the pH when added to water?
the pH will decrease slightly as oxalic acid is a weak acid.
When citric acid is added will the pH increase or decrease?
When citric acid is added, or any acid for that matter, the pH of a substance will decrease. This is because since acids have a low pH they will decrease the pH of other substances when added to it.
What happens to pH of water when hydrochloric acid is added to water?
the water will get more acidic. the PH will decrease meaning the pH is acidic
How does an acid affect pH and H plus concentration when added to water?
It increases H+ concentration and decrease pH according to pH = -log[H+] If acid is strong (it doesn't have a Ka>1) it will be ionized 100%. If it's not >1 it will be ionized according its Ka. It's called weak and pH is not so strongly affected as if it were strong
When hydrochloric acid a strong acid is added to water the pH oh water is?

What other things can make PH of quench water decrease instead of acid?
alkaline is the other thing apart from acid that can make the PH of a quench water decrease.
What will happen to the hydronium ion concentration and pH of water if hydronium acid is added?
Hydrogen ions will form and the pH of the water will increase.
Will NH3 increase decrease or no change in the pH when added to water?
The pH deccrease.
What happens to the buffer solution pH 7 when acid is added?
When acid is added to a buffer solution at pH 7, the pH of the buffer solution will decrease. However, due to the presence of a conjugate base in the buffer solution, the buffer will resist the change in pH and try to maintain its original pH value. This is because the conjugate base will react with the acid and prevent a significant decrease in pH.

What can be used to decrease the pH of water?
Depending on the pH factor of the water now, you could add acid to decrease the alkaline factor.
Does water change the pH level of vinegar?
no. water just dilutes the acid but the PH will not change unless an acid or alkali is added
