pH+Essay

On the Macro demonstration, the pH of coffee is 5.0. If I filled up the cup to half a liter, the pH starts at 5. Now, if I put some water in it so it all combines to 1 liter, the pH goes to 5.30. This is because water is not acidic, but it adds more content to the liquid so the pH does go up a little. But, if I fill half the liter with milk, the pH starts at 6.5. Then, if I add water to the 1 liter mark, the pH of this mixture goes up instead of down like usual. This is happening because water is neutral and milk is very close to 7 (neutral). So, it carries it up to the basic scale. If the substance is more acidic, the water won't balance it out as well. But, if it's more basic, the pH will go up.

On the Micro demonstration, the pH of orange juice is 3.5. If I fill it to half a liter with that and add water to make it 1 liter, the pH goes to 3.8. If I click on the H3O/OH ratio, the molecules are closer together. There are 55 molecules of water in this mixture.

In the My Solution demonstration, the pH was 1.3. The H2O count was 55. The H3O/OH were very close together just like the Micro demonstration.
