Best Answer

There are several ways to increase the pH:

* Adding a basic or alkali substance, e.g. NaOH, or a basic salt, e.g. CaCO3. * Consumption of the acid in a solution will cause the pH levels to increase (e.g Acid reacting with a metal) * The solution can be absorbing ammonia from the air * Temperature changes can affect pH * Electrolysis of some solutions can produce lowered pH values in the solution
