A milkman adds a very small amount of baking soda to fresh milk.
(a) Why does he shift the pH of the fresh milk from 6 to slightly alkaline?​

Answer 1

Curd is acidic in nature, because an acidic substance has less value of pH. A milkman adds a very small amount of baking soda to fresh milk. Why does he shift the pH of the fresh milk from 6 to slightly alkaline? Answer: By making the milk more alkaline, it takes more time to turn into curd.
