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.

∙ 13y agoTap water will usually not have a low enough pH level to be considered an acid. However, depending on the minerals and other objects in the tap water, it may be slightly more acidic or more basic than distilled water.

∙ 15y agowell.....it depends..... it could also be neutral........
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThey add chlorine to city water, so it's probably a base.

∙ 15y ago3 out of 10 is the strength of how much acid is in it
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoIt does depend on the source of the tap water that you are testing.

Is tap water an acid - an alkali or neutral?
It is about pH = 7.5 to 7.8 in my town. So neutral to very slightly basic.
Why is distilled water used during titration?
distilled water is used (as opposed to tap water) as it does not contain ions or impurities that may affect the results of the titration, usually by reacting with the acid/alkali themselves or by changing the pH of the solution.As water is pH 7, it is neutral and will not change the pH.
Is water a strong or a weak acid?
water is neither an acid or a base. It is neutral or a 7 on the pH scale. remember pure water is neutral.if there is impurity like tap water pH may vary from 7 on either side.
What is an example of a neutral liquid?
water, hexane ,benzene and some other organic liquids. Sugar water is also neutral. I t depends if it is distilled water because with universal indicator it is yellow - pH6 (almost neutral)
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 distilled acid or alkali?
Distilled water is neutral.

Why is water a base?
Pure distilled water is neutral, neither acid nor base. Most tap water is a base because of the minerals dissolved in it, but occasionally tap water may be acid because of acids dissolved in 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.

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.
Do plants grow better in acid rain or tap water?
Tap water. Acid rain contains chemicals that are not good for plant life.
Is anything besides water pH neutral?
yes, almost positive.There is no pure water. The water is either ACIDIC or NEUTRAL or ALKALINE.For us the human beings NEUTRAL is good.
Which one of these is an acid tap water salt water vinegar or soap?
Vinegar
Is tap water commonly acidic basic or neutral?
It is practically slowly acidic
