Does Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate Raise pH
On the effect of sodium bicarbonate on pH
Or ask: "Can sodium bicarbonate increase pH?" To say: "Of course. Sodium bicarbonate can be dissociated in water. Its anion bicarbonate can not only release protons, which is acidic; it can also hold protons, which is alkaline. However, its hydrolysis potential is stronger than ionization, so in a water-soluble environment, bicarbonate interacts with water to generate carbonate and hydroxide ions, causing the concentration of hydroxide ions to rise, which then increases the pH of the solution."
In the field of chemical industry, if it encounters acidic waste streams, it is often treated with sodium bicarbonate. When it comes into contact with acids, it can neutralize the reaction, slow down the acidity, make the pH tend to be appropriate, avoid acid damage, and turn waste into treasure, and the things produced are mostly harmless. In the biological body, the blood contains sodium bicarbonate, which is combined with carbonate to buffer the system. If the acidic substance enters the blood, sodium bicarbonate responds to it, adjusting the pH, maintaining the stability of the blood, and maintaining the normal operation of the body.
From this perspective, sodium bicarbonate can raise pH in many environments. It has heavy work in chemical, biological and other fields, and is widely used.
