Everything that lives has a pH level that they work best in. In humans that is 7.4. Anything much higher or much lower can cause damage and even death to the cells and therefore the organism. The same is true for molds and mildew. These grow best in low pH (under pH5).
the higher the pH, the more alkaline the substance is. :)
PH of 3.7
The pH increase with the help of an antacid.
pH is not a change at all. It is a chemical condition.
Temperature, pH, organic solvent, mechanical forces
Potassium bicarbonate can effectively treat powdery mildew by altering the pH on the surface of the plant, creating an environment that is less favorable for the growth of the fungus causing the mildew.
Yes. Most strong bases (pH above 9) can kill a fish.
When canning, the pH does not kill botulism. Rather, a pH less than 4.6 is needed to prevent botulism from growing. If you are canning foods with a pH at or over 4.6, a pressure canner is needed to completely kill botulism.
no it will not change the pH of water.
A banana would mold faster in orange juice because it is more acidic than milk. Molds can grow over a pH range of 2-8.5 however molds tend to grow better at an acidic pH.
the higher the pH, the more alkaline the substance is. :)
pH 2 -> pH 1
pH 2 -> pH 1
Acid rain does not kill people by contact or by consumption. It does not burn or eat away skin. It drops the pH slightly. This level of pH is sufficient to change soil characteristics, interfere with fish breeding, erode carbonaceous rock and enhance metal corrosion.
no change
Yes, a high pH level can effectively kill bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes and denaturing their proteins.
Sulfur dioxide mixed with water becomes acid rain, which will change the Ph of soil and damage it and kill the living organisms in it.
