Will the pH increase or decrease if you mix two acids having different pH value?

In general the highest will decrease (more) and the lowest will increase (somewhat), but NEVER linearly average pH values, because it is an exponential unit. ( [H+] = 10-pH )

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 are other ph decreasers?
Adding an acid to a solution can cause the ph to decrease. Looking at things in the molecular level a good acid or something that will be able to decrease the ph will be anything that can easily donate an H+ ion to a solution. Strong acids are examples
How do the concentrations of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion determine whether a solution is acidic basic or neutral.?
acids are substances that release their hydrogen ion(s) while bases grab hydrogen ions to themselves. SO, adding acids will increase the H+ concentration while adding bases will decrease the H+ concetration of the solution. This would be considered a direct effect.
What is used to increase pH?
acids
Do Saturated fatty acids raise LDL and decrease HDL?
yes
Why might fatty acids amino acids and nucleic acids increase the hydrogen ions concentration of a solution?
they have more ions than oter acids
Can ice tea increase your chances of having cavities?
Yes, iced tea can increase your chances of getting cavities. This is because tea contains acids and tannins that can erode tooth enamel and lead to decay if consumed frequently and not offset by good oral hygiene practices.
How is each triglyceride different from the others?
it has different fatty acids
What do acids in water separates into?
Strong acids: if its a strong acid, it will separate completely in water, meaning that the H+ ion concentration in the water will increase, which in turn causes the pH to decrease example: HCl -> H+ + Cl- Weak acids: weak acids don't separate completely in water, but because they are acids, they still separate. You can figure out how much of the acid has broken up by using a rice table and looking up the Ka. example: HCN <--> H+ + CN-
Why might fatty acids nucleic acids and amino acids increase the hydrogen ion concentrated of a solution?
The acids all contribute hydrogen ions to the solution.
