Testing indicates that water can be acidic or basic
and this can be measure through the potential of hydrogen or pH of water. Solutions is
said to be acidic if the pH is less than 7 and solutions with a pH greater than
7 are basic. Moreover, tap water had an
approximate pH of 7.5, the distilled
water had pH 5.7 while outdoor water derived
from mineral water had pH between 7.5 and 8. This numeric scale can be affected
by temperature, as
temperature increases, pH decreases. This occurrence just explains that the
point at which pH is neutral drops. Here, the hydrogen ions and the hydroxyl
ions in the water are still balanced.
