There is no "ph" in sodium dichloride. Just an "h." If there was one, you could lower it by putting it in a subscript.

What will result if sodium bicarbonate is used to lower ph in a swimming pool?

Using sodium bicarbonate to lower pH in a swimming pool is not effective. Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, is typically used to raise pH levels in pools. To lower pH in a pool, an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate should be used.


Can I lower the pH of sodium hydroxide with water?

No, adding water to sodium hydroxide will not lower the pH. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, and when dissolved in water, it dissociates to produce hydroxide ions, which make the solution more basic. To lower the pH of a sodium hydroxide solution, you would need to add an acid to neutralize the base.


Can you use sodium bisulfate to lower TA?

Sodium bisulfate (AKA sodium hydrogen sulfate or sodium acid sulfate) is an acid that will lower pH. If you lower the pH of a swimming pool buffered with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and maybe cyanuric acid (stabilizer), your alkalinity will go down, along with the pH. But usually, what people want is to lower the alkalinity (or TA) without lowering the pH. When you lower the pH on a carbonate buffered pool, you convert some of the carbonates into carbonic acid, where they no longer contribute to the measured alkalinity. But, as soon as you raise your pH, the carbonic acid switches back to carbonate, and your TA goes right back up with the pH. To actually LOWER the alkalinity, you have to lower the pH, and then REMOVE some of the carbonic acid, which you can do be aerating the pool, since carbonic acid is a form of carbon dioxide gas.


Does sodium hydrogen carbonate have a lower pH than sodium hydroxide?

It depends on the concentrations of these substances. However, sodium hydroxide is a very strong base and therefore is capable of producing solutions with high pH values. On the other hand, sodium hydrogen carbonate is weakly acidic, and is therefore capable of producing solutions that are somewhat less than neutral. (Carbonic acid is itself a weak acid.)


What is sodium hydroxide pH level?

pH level is a measure of acidity, the simplest way to understand it is the lower the pH value the more acid something is, and the higher the pH value the more alkali something is. Finaly a value of pH 7 is neutral (neither acid or alkali).pH does not show the amount of Sodium Hydroxide present, however the pH would increase if Sodium Hydroxide was added because Sodium Hydroxide is alkali.The pH of concentrated (1 M) Sodium Hydroxide is 14.

What do you add to sodium hydroxide to get pH lower?

Acid


What is the Difference of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate for treating swimming pool PH?

No it cannot. Sodium bicarb has a ph of 8.4. To lower ph you would need to use a dry acid (sodium bisulphate) or muriatic acid. City water is normally treated and has a ph of 7.5 but it would take a large amount of fresh water to lower the ph of a pool.


Does sodium rise or lower pH levels?

Sodium added to water react and form sodium hydroxide which is a strong base.

Why is sodium bisulfate used in a pool?

It is used to lower both ph and alkalinity.


Will bicarbonate lower pH?

Yes, because sodium bicarbonate solution is basic.


Which would have a lower boiling point NaCl or SCl2?

The boiling point of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 801 oC.Sulfur dichloride (SCl2) is decomposed before boiling.


Can you use sodium chloride to lower pH level in pools?

I have never heard of it being used for that purpose and cant find any reference to it being used for that purpose. any acid would lower Ph however that does not mean that it wont have undesirable side effects.
