How to Measure the pH of Water: Importance and Impacts

The video tutorial explains the pH scale, which measures how acidic or basic a substance is, with 7 being neutral. It demonstrates how to measure the pH of water using a sensor and emphasizes the importance of double-checking results with a Lamont testing kit. The tutorial concludes by encouraging further exploration of water pH levels.

What does a pH reading of 7 indicate about a substance?

• It is acidic.

• It is basic.

• It is neutral.

• It is highly reactive.

Why is it important to measure the pH of water?

• To measure its temperature.

• To determine its color.

• To assess its taste.

• To evaluate its acidity or basicity.

What was the initial pH reading of the water using the sensor?

• 8.92

• 6.5

• 7.0

• 9.5

What tool is used to double-check the pH measurement?

• A thermometer

• A Lamont testing kit

• A litmus paper

• A pH meter
