It depends on the molecule of course.
some molecules have a soft hydroxide group, that is a OH sticking out somewhere that isn't all that closely held. Increasing the pH in the environment of such a molecule can result in a free hydrogen ion latching onto the hydroxide group and forming a water molecule - in effect removing the hydroxide group from the molecule. This is a process known as dehydration - the removal of water. Dehydration is both an important and detrimental process in making Urea, a nitrogen rich fertilizer.
Some slightly complex molecules we 'bend into a new shape' in the presence/absence of hydrogen ion. The electro-presence of hydrogen ions affecting the arrangement of certain hydrogen bonds with in the molecule. This is the case with some pH indicators. This bending and refolding can occur countless times as there is no net change to the molecule.

Industrial applications of common ion effect?
buffer solutions are the use ful applications of common ion effect they are important for biological applications[some enzymes can only work at a specific ph,the ph of gastric juices is 1.5. chemical applications fermentations,dyeing need a maximum ph.
Effect of Diluting a buffer?
The buffer capacity increases as the concentration of the buffer solution increases and is a maximum when the pH is equal to the same value as the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer. A buffer solution is a good buffer in the pH range that is + or - 1 pH unit of the pKa. Beyond that, buffering capacity is minimal.
What effect does increasing the number of carbons have on the boiling point?
Increasing the number of carbons in a molecule increase the boiling point in the wast majority of cases.
Does starch have a pH?
everything has a pH
PH values of acids?
Acids generally have a pH ranging from 1 - 6. pH 1 being the most acidic, and pH 6 being the least acidic. eg, hydrochloric acid, nitric aicd, sulfuric acid has a pH of 1. Ethanoic acid has a pH of 3.
How can one determine the isoelectric point of a molecule?
The isoelectric point of a molecule can be determined by finding the pH at which the molecule carries no net electrical charge. This can be done by plotting the molecule's charge as a function of pH and identifying the pH at which the charge is zero.
What is the charge on the lysine molecule when it is in a solution with a pH of 7?
The charge on the lysine molecule is positive when it is in a solution with a pH of 7.
What is varied when tested the effect of pH enzyme activity?
The pH is varied to effect, by its affect, this test.
What does the isoelectric point graph reveal about the behavior of a molecule in different pH environments?
The isoelectric point graph shows how a molecule's charge changes in different pH environments. At the isoelectric point, the molecule has no net charge and is least soluble. Above the isoelectric point, the molecule is negatively charged, and below it, the molecule is positively charged. This information helps understand how the molecule interacts with its environment at different pH levels.
What is the pH of benzene?
Benzene is a nonpolar molecule and does not ionize in water, so it does not have a pH value.
What is Effect of pH in the solubility of weak acidic drugs?
Certain functional groups on the chemical structure of drugs are capable of being protonated/ deprotonated based on the pH of the solution (amine groups as well as carboxylate groups are capable of this). Changing the pH of the solution can change the physical chemistry of a drug by adding or removing protons at certain sites of the molecule. Depending on the molecule, this will either increase or decrease the solubility of the drug.

What is the pH for chloride?
the chloride ion has no effect on pH. It is neutral.
What is the pH of hexane?
Hexane is a nonpolar molecule and does not dissociate in water to form ions, so it does not have a pH value.
What affects pH?
Absolutely everything has a pH value and will have some effect.
How does a flavin pigment molecule work with a pH indicator?
Flavin pigment molecule can interact with a pH indicator by changing its color based on the pH of the solution. The flavin pigment undergoes a chemical reaction with the pH indicator, leading to a change in its absorption spectrum or structure, resulting in a color change that can be used to determine the pH of the solution.
