Acetic acid (vinegar) technically could, but you'd need a HUGE amount of it, as vinegar is not an especially strong acid. Muriatic acid or Sodium bisulphate would do a better job.
No - vinegar is a (weak) acid, so it's pH is lower than 7. The actual pH of vinegar varies depending on the type and dilusion. Substances with a pH above 7 are "basic." Bleach is a good example.
lower PH
To lower the pH level in a pool, you can add pH decreaser or muriatic acid according to the manufacturer's instructions. Test the pH level after adding the product and adjust as needed until the pH falls within the optimal range of 7.2-7.6.
Using sodium bicarbonate to lower pH in a swimming pool is not effective. Sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, is typically used to raise pH levels in pools. To lower pH in a pool, an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate should be used.
add a PH reducer chemical
Ammonia, which is basic, would raise pH. Vinegar, coffee and lemon juice are all acidic and would cause pH to be lower.
No, vinegar is more acidic than milk. Vinegar has a pH ranging from 2.4 to 3.4, while milk has a pH of around 6.5 to 6.7. The lower the pH value, the more acidic the substance.
Adding vinegar to anything will only serve to lower the pH not raise it (acidic substances are of lower pH and alkaline substances have a higher pH).Bee stings are acidic and treatment of them requires the neutralisation of the venom by raising it to neutral.
Muriatic Acid....Be real careful though.
Vinegar has a pH of about 2.4. Any pH lower than 7 is an acid, any pH above 7 is a base. Vinegar is acidic. It is mixture and contains acetic acid, CH3COOH (a weak acid) as the component responsible for the smell and the acidity.
Baking soda will almost certainly raise the pH level in a pool.
The pH value of vinegar is 2.The pH value of vinegar is 2.(Acidic)posted by anonymousBy the way, there is a bunch of sites that say different things. The one I just looked at says the pH value of vinegar is actually 3.(Still acidic though)posted by the same anonymousAnything with a pH lower then 7 is a base and anything higher then 7 is an acid.posted by the same anonymous again!Actually, its the opposite. Anything higher than 7 is a base and anything lower is acidicActually, 7 is neutral, 0-6 is an acid and 8-14 are alkaline.
