What Causes a pH Crash and How to Fix It
Maintaining a stable pH is essential in chemistry experiments, biological cultures, aquariums, and water treatment. A pH crash refers to a rapid, undesired shift in the hydrogen ion concentration that can disrupt reactions, damage organisms, or invalidate results. Common causes 1) Insufficient buffering capacity: A solution or system lacks enough buffering agents to resist pH changes when acids or bases are added. This is common in low-ionic-strength solutions or poorly buffered mixes. 2) sud... Read more »
