I used a PH meter in my Biochemistry lab to measure the PH of tap water which came out to be 7.9.
My tests show that the pH of tap water is 8.2

How can I test the pH of my tap water?
How do I go about testing drinking water? I want to know what the pH level is on the tap water in my house.
What is pH value of tap water and what color you get of pH paper in this case?
pH value of tap water is 6.Dark green color is observed.
What pH is tap water?
The pH of tap water varies a great deal from town to town and sometimes from one season to another. Your city water department can give you a general idea of your tap water's pH, but it would be better to buy a wide-range pH test kit and test it yourself.
Is tap water and bottle water pure water to be neutral on the pH scale?
On the pH scale, tap water is very close to neutral. Tap water does contain impurities, and therefore is not pure water, so it is not completely neutral, but is very close to it.
Is tap water acidic or neutral?
Tap water is ever so slightly basic. Hello, I have had two chemistry classes and in each class we tested the pH of tap water and it is slightly acidic, which my prof. said was true. I tested my tap water with pH paper, it was approximately 6.75 which is slightly acidic. Remember that tap water is not natural, it is a product of a water treatment plant.

What does water do to baking powder?
No, at pH = 8 (tap water pH) no CaCO3 will precipitate at normal tap water temperature. pH of sodium bicarbonate (baking powder) is also 8.

On the pH scale, tap water is very close to neutral. Tap water does contain impurities, and therefore is not pure water, so it is not completely neutral, but is very close to it.
Why would the pH value change for normal tap water?
Because it's not pure water. It has other minerals and additives in it, which throw off the pH a bit. Tap water's pH can vary by region of the country, or world depending upon what else is in it besides water. Even bottled water isn't pure; you have to distill it.
What is the PH of sparkling water?
Sparkling water normally has a pH of 3, making it an acid. Regular spring or tap water has a pH of around 7, making it neutral.

How can the pH rainwater be determined?
With the pH test paper, pH value near 5.6 in the vicinity of the rain, pH value of 7 in the vicinity of the tap water; because the rain dissolved in a small amount of CO2, carbon dioxide, so the PH value of rain will show weak acidity. PH is 5.6, and tap water is neutral.

Is tap water acidic or alkaline?
Tap water - if it's pure - should be neutral. However - water companies add various chemicals (such as fluoride) in the cleaning process which changes the pH level slightly towards the acidic side of the scale.
How fast does chlorine evaporate from tap water?
The speed of this depends on pH, temperature and volume of water.
