It goes up about 0.5 pH to 7.5
Chloride is a VERY weak base, but it is still a base!
Cl- + H2O <---> HCl + OH-

NaCl is the Chemical symbol for Sodium Chloride and it's pH is about 7 and water's pH is also 7.
7 on the pH scale mean neutral.
They're both neutral so... There's no change the pH is 7.

The pH of water is 7 if it's pure. NaCl (table salt) does not contain acid or base, so it doesn't change the pH of water when it's dissolved in it.

NaCl does not change the pH of water. Only H+ or OH- ions will change pH

7 No problem NaCL is a salt of strong acid and strong base so
pH is Neutral

Neutral (7)
And the additional NaCl craps out of solution so as not to affect pH.
However, if you add a catalyst of some sort, the solution pH will change.

Because Na+ and Cl- both are ions from strong base and strong acid, they are themselves neutral. Therefore the pH will be 7.0 if the water is completely pure (fresh deonized H2O).

sodium chloride solution is of pH 7, so the pH of the water will be unchanged.

about 7. There are 3 types of compounds, acids, bases, and salts
