pH is actual the ratio of Hydronium ions (H3O) to Hydroxide ions (OH). A pH neutral liquid has a pH of 7, while the strongest acids have a number closer to 1 and the strongest bases (like household bleach) have a pH number closer to 14. It is simply caused by the natural breakdown in water of H2O into forms of OH and H3O that has a natural tendancy to swap back and forth in an equilibrium reaction.
Actually there is such thing as a pH wrinkle, its caused from low PH.
Hi pH causes scaling
Adding a base
Adding a base will make the pH go up (increasing of OH- ions concentration).
pollutions, chemicals
decrease in pH
High temperature and PH value
Neon is a monatomic gas, it dissovles slightly in water but causes no change to the pH as it is completely inert.
Adding a base will make the pH go up (increasing of OH- ions concentration).
The ion that causes the pH of 10 in ammonia solution is the hydroxide ion (OH-). Ammonia (NH3) acts as a weak base and reacts with water to produce hydroxide ions, which increase the pH of the solution.
Bacteria in milk causes milk to sour by changing lactose to lactic acid. This causes the pH to drop and once the pH drops low enough, the proteins in the milk will curdle.
Trichomoniasis always causes an increase in the pH of vaginal discharge; however, other things may also cause increased pH above the normal 3.5-4.0. These causes include bacterial vaginosis and semen in the vagina.
