pH tells us the hydrogen ion (H+) ion concentration. The lower the number - the greater the number of hydrogen ions. Adding hydrogen ions decreases pH (and increases acidity) removing them (eg by adding hydroxide OH-) increases pH.

Can lemon cause the pH of a substance to be higher?

Lemons contain citric acid, so adding lemon to something probably makes its pH go down. A pH above 7.0 indicates a base is acting in a substance. And moving down the pH scale means something is becoming less basic and/or more acidic. It can make the pH higher if the pH is already extremely low, simply from dilution. Adding lemon juice to concentrated sulfuric acid would make the pH go up very slightly.


What happens to the pH when acid is added to an alkali does it go up or down?

When acid is added to an alkali, the pH decreases or goes down. This is because the acid donates hydrogen ions (H+) to the alkali, neutralizing the alkaline properties and shifting the pH towards neutrality or acidity.
