pH testing
Checking solution acidity
pH testing is the measurement of acidity or alkalinity in a substance, expressed on a scale from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline), with 7 being neutral.
Common applications include testing pool water, soil, aquariums, and bodily fluids.
Methods range from simple litmus paper strips to digital meters: The pH testing showed the pool was too acidic.
