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 analysis reveals a high pH level, prompting further investigation into the water's condition.

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

• It is acidic.

• It is highly reactive.

• It is basic.

• It is neutral.

Why is it important to measure the pH of water?

• To determine its color.

• To check its salinity.

• To assess its acidity or basicity.

• To measure its temperature.

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

• 9.5

• 6.5

• 8.92

• 7.0

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

• A thermometer

• A Lamont testing kit

• A pH meter

• A hydrometer

What did the color comparison reveal about the water's pH level?

• It was low.

• It was very high.

• It was acidic.

• It was neutral.
