pH value problem!
Thread Content
I would like to ask: when using 10% hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH value in production, what volume of 10% hydrochloric acid is needed to increase the solution’s pH value by 0.1 units? Solution volume V.
pH is the logarithm of hydrogen ions; you can calculate it yourself – find out what the change corresponding to 10 to the power of 0.1 is, as this affects concentration changes

This cannot be calculated directly based on pH, as the amount of acid required for buffer systems differs significantly from that needed for non-buffer systems. Moreover, there is also a significant difference between the initial pH levels and the amount of acid consumed. Even without a buffering system, the amount of acid required to adjust from pH 2 to pH 1 is nearly 100 times greater than that needed to adjust from pH 4 to pH 3. Furthermore, you mentioned using hydrochloric acid to raise the pH by 0.1; with current technology, this is something that is absolutely impossible to achieve, as adding acid can only lower the pH value, never raise it.
