pH is the acidity.

low pH is more acid, while high pH is more basic.

What is amount of caustic required to adjust pH of solution?

This depends on the desired pH, volume of solution, initial pH, etc.


What solution would require the greatest amount of base to be added to bring the solution to neutral pH?

To determine which solution would require the greatest amount of base to reach a neutral pH, you would look for the solution with the lowest initial pH. For example, a strong acid solution, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) at a low concentration (e.g., pH 1), would require significantly more base to neutralize it compared to a solution with a pH closer to neutral, like a weak acid solution. The greater the acidity (lower pH), the more base is needed to achieve a neutral pH of 7.


What happens when HCL is added to solution with a pH of 7.45?

When hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to a solution with a pH of 7.45, the acidity of the solution increases. HCl dissociates into hydrogen ions (H⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻), which lowers the pH as the concentration of hydrogen ions rises. The solution will become more acidic, moving toward a pH closer to neutral (7) or even below, depending on the amount of HCl added. This change can affect various chemical equilibria and biological processes that are sensitive to pH.


What is pH of the resulting solution of a mixture where the amount of acid added to the base is more than the actual amount required to complete neutralisation?

The pH is under 7.


Does the amount and type of milk affect the Ph level of coffee?

Yes, the amount and type of milk can affect the pH level of coffee. Milk contains proteins that can lower the pH of coffee slightly, making it more acidic. However, the overall impact on pH may be minimal depending on the amount of milk used.
