If the pH is lowered, the solution becomes more acidic.

It's just like temperature. If something cools down from 1000 degrees to 900 degrees, it is colder, even though the object is still 'hot'. It's hot, but not as hot as it was, so it's colder.

Likewise, if we lower a pH from 7.5 to 7.4, the solution is more acidic. It's basic, but not as basic as it was, so it's more acidic.

How can you measure the pH of an unknown liquid?

You can measure the pH of an unknown liquid using a pH meter or pH test strips. Simply dip the pH meter or test strip into the liquid and observe the reading or color change, respectively. This will give you an indication of the pH level of the unknown liquid.

What are some ways to determine the pH of a liquid?

Some ways to determine the pH of a liquid include using pH test strips, pH meters, or pH indicator solutions. pH test strips change color based on the acidity or alkalinity of the liquid, pH meters provide a numerical pH value, and pH indicator solutions change color to indicate the pH level.
