Why did they invent the PH scale?

Answer 1

You are learning about acidity and alkalinity in chemistry class and the scale that determines the amounts. Forest rangers add limestone to ponds to counter the effects of acid rain. This enables fish to live in them again. Soft drink makers reduce the pH of their drinks to 3.2. That acidifies them to the point where bacteria will not grow. Farmers and gardeners use the appropriate fertilizer to bring the land to the appropriate pH for a particular crop. Some plants need acidic soil; others need alkaline soil. For washing various products, you need a high pH. Commercial and medical laboratories use pH all the time. The strange thing about life is that a lot of information gained in education that seems totally useless at the time becomes valuable later on. A student's college major or graduate degree provides a ticket to his first job and his first promotion. After that, the other information he learned frequently proves to have more value.

Answer 2

Answer 3
