Im doing a college biology project where we have to come up with our own experiments. I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer, and poison control couldn't help me. I want to know how much ammonia is lethal if ingested, how much ammonia would it take to change a pH of 2 to a base pH.

There are three things that will affect the answer. Is the solution with the pH of 2 buffered? If it is, that will increase the amount of ammonia needed. How concentrated is the solution with a pH of 2? If it is very concentrated, more ammonia will be needed. What is the concentration of your ammonia solution? The higher the concentration, the less you will need.

Conc. must change from [OH-] = 10^-12 to 10^-7
That corresponds to a change of pH from 2 to 7.
