I think that it is important to maintain ph level’s because in our body we maintain an healthy ph ratio of 70:30, Alkaline to acid. Most illnesses, bad bacteria, and diseases all thrive in an high acidic environment. But when ph levels are unbalanced it can mostly be in a case of being acidic. I also think that the acidity in all types of water affects ph by chemicals in the water because in a ph scale it runs from zero to fourteen. And in the neutral is 7 right in the middle, and anything above 7 is going to be basic. And anything below 7 is going to be acidic. At the zero of the ph scale you have battery acid,and at the 2 of the ph scale you have lemon juice. Over on the other end at 90 you have baking soda. And at 10 you have antacid, Which you can imagine combat acids. So when water releases acid, The water will disassociate, for instance hydrochloric acids will disassociate and two positively charged hydrogen and two negatively charged chlorine. Now the way we measure ph or how something is acidic something is simply a measure of how many free hydrogens there are. Since there are a lot of free hydrogens something is acidic. When there is not a lot of free hydrogens something is basic. So if I dissolve Hydrochloride in water there’s going to be tons of free hydrogens. This means that you will create an environment where there’s tons of disassociated ions and they will also be positively charged water called hydronium so both of these things will combine to make the ph of water be extremely acidic depending on how much acid there is. So if there is acid in the water the ph will rise. You you quench that you could add a base and bring it back down.
