If by pH you mean the acidity of a compound then by combining equal amounts of each pH they would all "cancel each other out" i.e. neutralise which leaves a pH of 7
What are your readings? What is the pH? alkalinity? Ken
How acidic or basic the water is. You want it in the middle of these two. "PH" refers to the acid/base continuum. Low numbers mean higher acid concentrations, High numbers mean higher alkaline (base) numbers.
The pH is define in the following way: pH = -log [H+] What that means is the pH is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. So, if you have a pH = 0, that means that the concentration of H+ is equal to 1 molar, because -log(1) = 0. If you have a 1 M solution of any strong acid, the pH will be equal to zero.
pH = 14 is basic pH = 7 is neutral pH - 1 and 2 are acidic; pH = 1 is more acidic than pH = 2 Therefore a solution at pH 1 has higher concentration of H+ than at pH 14
