It varies. I use a swimming pool ph test kit and add the soda until the ph is 7. I pretty well mix them all at once. There are some things in aloe vera that can have an H or an OH tail, and if you add acid or alkaline will switch tails (I may not be describing this quite right, I read a paper on it quite some time ago). So what happens is that as you add the soda, the ph increases quickly until it reaches 7, then you can add quite a bit more before it starts increasing again. Thus you will find that a fairly wide range of soda will give the same result in the end of 7.
