It is important to know the PH of various substance so as to prevent damage to the human beings and certain materials. The knowledge of PH is also important in environmental and water analysis.
Many technological and biological processes occur in a narrow range of pH.
This is necessary only for very concentrated acids or bases.
Yes, you can add an acid: the minimum quantity necessary.
An indicator is not necessary; but if you want phenolphthalein is colorless at pH=7.
Low pH(HCl) amylase incubated at 100c
No, pH 2.77 is not the correct pH for 1 M HCl. The pH of 1 M HCl should be 0 (zero) because pH is the negative log the the H+ and for 1 M HCl the [H+] is 1 M, and the negative log of 1 is 0.
I do, because I have a Hot Tub, and maintaining a proper Ph is necessary for proper maintenance.
This is necessary only for very concentrated acids or bases.
A pH meter must be standardized because it measures relative potentials and thus relative pH. It is necessary to know to what the measurement is relative. A standard must be measured and the meter set to the known value for this standard. The pH values of other solutions are then measured relative to this standard.
By adding the necessary reagent, acidic or basic.
Between 6.5 and 7.5.
Adjusts pH upward. Sodium hydroxide can also be used if necessary--for large pH shifts or very large batches.
When canning, the pH does not kill botulism. Rather, a pH less than 4.6 is needed to prevent botulism from growing. If you are canning foods with a pH at or over 4.6, a pressure canner is needed to completely kill botulism.
With a pH meter or pH paper. Other indicator dyes (e.g. litmus, phenolphthalein) may be used if it is not necessary to determine the exact numerical pH value.
Yes, you can add an acid: the minimum quantity necessary.
You will need Kw to determine the concentration of hydrogen ions and You will need the formula pH = -log[H+]

An indicator is not necessary; but if you want phenolphthalein is colorless at pH=7.
