How do I go about testing drinking water? I want to know what the pH level is on the tap water in my house.
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.
The pH of tap water can vary depending on the location and source of the water. On average, tap water has a pH level around 7, which is considered neutral. However, it can range from slightly acidic (below 7) to slightly alkaline (above 7).
pH value of tap water is 6.Dark green color is observed.
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.
Yes, tap water is generally considered neutral in terms of pH levels, with a pH around 7.

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.

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.
Why is tap water being used as a test substance
pH determination is a test for acidity/basicity.
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.
NO-in fact, bottled water is pretty much tap water. Oftentimes, there are minerals or other things such as sodium dissolved in the water. A pH test would confirm this.
