Since sea water is much denser than freshwater, the pH level would be higher. The saline levels in the sea water contributes to a higher acidic level.

Is sea water neutral or basic?
Sea water contains a large no. of salts dissolved in it making its pH 8.0 to 8.3 which means it is basic.
What is the pH level of common salt?
AnswerSalt on its own has no pH level but when put in water, the solution contains free ions of Na+ and Cl-. Both ions do not react with water, as a result the solution is neutral.It possesses a pH of 7 when in a temperature of 25oC.
Ph level of some common substance?
hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, tomatoes, rain water, pure water, sea water, ammonium chloride, and sodium hydroxide
What does pH balance measure?
The balance of pH, different areas of the body or water etc. require specific pHs. The pH scale measures acidity. pH 1-6 are acid, pH 7 is neutral and pH 8-14 are alkali.
Can you artificially incubate freshwater shrimp eggs?
Yes, it is possible to artificially incubate freshwater shrimp eggs. The eggs can be collected and transferred to a separate container with controlled water parameters such as temperature, pH, and salinity. The eggs will then hatch within a specific time frame under these controlled conditions, allowing for successful incubation.
Why pH scale different for seawater and freshwater?
There are a variety of elements in all water. Each element carries with it a specific PH. Salt water maintains PH ranges anywhere from 8.4 to 7.6. Fresh water carries different elements and the PH range can become lower, down to as low as 6.0.
Does adding salt to freshwater aquariums change the Ph level of the water?
No
What is the pH value of sea water?
The pH value of salt water is 8.
Why would a freshwater aquarium be dangerous for saltwater fish?
The density and pressure of saltwater is different from freshwater as is much of the bacterias and parasites. The acidity of the water is also of concern as the lower the PH the higher the acidity of the water. Saltwater being of a higher PH would not handle the lower PH of freshwater very well. Also if moving a freshwater fish to saltwater that fish will lose a great amount of water in it's body causing death and if the saltwater fish is moved to freshwater it will gain great amounts of water causing death.
Can water have different pH?
Pure water always has pH of 7. Different aqueous solutions may change the pH.
What should the Ph level for the water be for guppies?
The same for every fish that is a freshwater fish: 7.
How many differny alkinlines are there and list them?
there are many different alkinlines like soapy water sea water baking soda but you can find this on a ph scale
How does pH enter freshwater?
Water will always have a pH. pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. Intruduction of basic substances such as carbonates will raise pH. Introduction of acidic substances such as carbonic or sulfuric acid will lower pH.
What PH do freshwater angelfish like?
Angels originated in the Amazonian Rainforest where the water is very soft and slightly acid. A good pH for them is around 6.8
Is sea water an acid or a base?
it is neutral it has a pH of 7
What is the pH of wasted water?
This pH is very different and depends on the chemical nature of the waste water.
Is vineger sea water and distilled water low or high in PH?
They all have a low pH, distilled water has a pH of around 7 and vinegar is an acid along with seawater making them below seven.
