An increase in carbon dioxide levels in the body can cause a drop in pH, leading to acidosis. This occurs because carbon dioxide reacts with water in the body to form carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of the blood.

Is it pH of coffee is alkali?

No coffee is generally around pH 5. To be alkali it would need to be above pH 7.


What would happen if you add a drop of buffer solution at PH 2 into a pool filled with pure PH 7 water?

A drop is insignificant compared to an entire pool, so no change would be observed. However, if the volume of the buffer was comparable to the volume of the pool, pH would change to be somewhere between 2 and 7.

A solution has a pH of 8.5 is acidic or basic which substance is more likely to cause this pH in water HCI or NaOH why?

A solution with a substance of 8.5 would be basic not acidic. NaOH would most likely cause this pH as it is a base whereas the reaction between HCl and water would cause a very stong acid.

What would happen to the PH level if more hydrogen?

Adding more hydrogen would cause more acidity thus a lower pH value.


What does pH 7.8 cause in the human body?

A pH of 7.8 in the body typifies a condition referred to as alkalosis. It is characterized by a plasma pH greater than 7.45; associated with a relative deficiency of hydrogen ions or an excess of bicarbonate ions.

How long can a betta fish live with bad pH?

Betta fish are not terribly sensitive to pH. A pH between 5.5 and 8.5 would probably cause no problems.


Why does the pH drop when temperature increases?

When temperature increases, the pH drops because higher temperatures can cause chemical reactions to occur more quickly, leading to an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. This increase in hydrogen ions lowers the pH level of the solution.


Is pH a physical or chemical?

pH is not a change at all. It is a chemical condition.
