pH Measurement and Lemon Juice

The video demonstrates how to determine the pH of lemon juice using pH paper and a pH meter. It begins with an introduction to pH testing and the setup required. The instructor calibrates the pH paper using known solutions of hydrochloric acid, neutral water, and sodium hydroxide. The pH of lemon juice is then tested, showing an orange color indicating a pH of around 3, confirming its acidic nature. The video concludes with a discussion on the practical applications of lemon juice in recipes to lower pH levels.
