The pH of urine has been found to be correlated with diet. Acidic urine results when meat and dairy products are consumed, because the oxidation of sulfur-containing amino acids in the proteins produces protons. Consumption of fruits and vegetables leads to alkaline urine, because these foods contain plentiful amounts of potassium and magnesium carbonate salts. The carbonate ions protons from water and form ✓ions, resulting in basic urine.

Acid Base Titration

An acid-base titration is the method of quantitative analysis for determining the concentration of an acid and base by exactly neutralizing it with a standard solution of base or acid having known concentration.
