PH TEST

Optimal levels are an essential factor in maintaining water quality and healthy ecosystems. Accurate testing helps keep drinking water and groundwater safe and helps protect aquatic plants and animals.

What is a normal level?

The scale ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal range of about 7.35 to 7.45.

What are 3 ways to test ?

Ways of Measuring

• Indicator methods.
• Metal-electrode methods (including the hydrogen-electrode method, quinhydrone-electrode method, and antimony-electrode method)
• Glass-electrode methods.
• Semiconductor sensor methods.

What is used for?

is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 – 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a of greater than 7 indicates a base. is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

What is stand for?

potential hydrogen

explained

The abbreviation stands for potential hydrogen, and it tells us how much hydrogen is in liquids
