How do I go about testing drinking water? I want to know what the pH level is on the tap water in my house.
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
pH value of tap water is 6.Dark green color is observed.
Well to start off with one the tap water in your sink is a base seeing as how water's pH level is 7
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.

It depends on the litmus paper. If the paper is completely soiled, then the pH level of the water would be hard to determine. If part of the litmus paper is not soiled, then you can use it to determine the pH level of water. (tap water has a pH 6 because of the substances used to clean water) ~your mom's chest hair~

As of 2007 the ph of nyc is 6.6 to 6.8, it's loaded with phosphoric acid soaps and shampo's are useless. the water is all acid.
Acidic substances will lower pH and more alkaline or basic substances will put it above the neutral value of pH = 7

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.
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.
tap water may be is acid due to chlorination when cured. But in other hand, I can say tap water is neutral due to evaporation of HCl gas when exposed in open space. Chlorine is actually mainly neutral so chlorination makes no difference in the PH levels of the tap water. The Ph level will mainly be based on the chemical levels of the water on that specific day.
