how do u balence pH?

Question

asap ig possible

Answer 1

Acids neutralise alkalis and vice versa.So depending on what you have at the beginning you can add the other to it.eg.
if you have 50ml of hydrocloric acid(1M) pH0 and you add 50ml of sodium hydroxide (1M) pH14 you will end up with salt solution pH 7. With different strength acids/alkalis you will have to work out the various volumes required

Answer 2

You add acid to a solution to decrease the pH or a base to increase the pH. The most common ones used are HCl or NaOH. You add the acid or base slowly to the solution and stop when the desired pH is reached. Generally you start with a diluted acid ( or base) and add a drop at a time, if that has no affect on the pH you then use a more concentrated acid (or base) again adding a drop at a time. Once you have a feel for how much is required to alter the pH you can add more at a time, but you don't want to change the pH too fast or you will go overshoot the pH you want.

You can use other acids or bases depending on the solution you are trying to pH.

Hope this answers your question. If you need more information ask again with more specifics.

Answer 3

pH is self-balancing in that it is the hydrogen ion concentration that results from the equilibria of various chemical systems in solution. Your question isn't very clear, but adding an acid will shift the equilibria to reduce the pH, adding a base will do the opposite and adding or creating a buffer system will tend to produce a self-regulating constant pH. Buffers are weak acid/base mixtures and more details are given in the link below. Different buffer systems will produce different pH.
Also, don't forget that pH is dependent upon temperature (which is why the often repeated claim that water is neutral at pH7 is only actually true at one temperature ~25degC).

Answer 4

Dependant on your starting pH.

pH 7.0 = Neutral

Less than this the pH needs to be raised by the addition of a suitable alkali, ie sodium carbonate

Greater than this the pH needs to be lowered by the addition of a suitable acid ie citric acid.

This is only a rough guide as your question is very general.

Answer 5

Well depending on how strong the ph. Or in other word pH7 is neutral. Anything below it is acidic and anything above pH7 is a base...a base will neutralize an acid and an acid a base but obviously is its a stronger acid you need a stronger base.

Answer 6

sorry this is not an answer to your question but a fix-it for Tash. anything less than ph7 is acidic, but ph7 itself is base and anything about ph7 is alkaline.

Answer 7

Yes you can balance it, depending on what it is pertaining to. A pool, your body etc.

Answer 8

Im not sure I know what you are asking. In relation to what ?

Answer 9

by adding buffers!
