pH testing

pH testing measures how acidic or alkaline a solution is, on a scale from 0 to 14. A pH below 7 indicates acidity, while above 7 indicates alkalinity. A pH of exactly 7 is considered neutral, like pure water. Testing involves using a special strip or instrument that reacts with the solution, changing color or providing a reading. This helps determine the solution’s chemical balance, which is important in various fields like agriculture, healthcare, and environmental monitoring to ensure the proper conditions are maintained.
