- pH of Saliva The pH of saliva is normally in the range of 6.4 to 7.0. However, when a person is ill, the person's saliva becomes more acidic. (a) When Marco is sick, he tests the pH of his saliva and finds that it is 5.5. What is the hydrogen ion concentra- tion of his saliva? (b) Will the hydrogen ion concentration in Marco's saliva increase or decrease as he gets better? (c) After Marco recovers, he tests the pH of his saliva, and it is 6.5. Was the saliva more acidic or less acidic when he was sick?
