Because it's not pure water. It has other minerals and additives in it, which throw off the pH a bit. Tap water's pH can vary by region of the country, or world depending upon what else is in it besides water. Even bottled water isn't pure; you have to distill it.

What is the pH of boiling water?

Normal water contains impurities and minerals, so during boiling, these impurities are expelled, but this changes the pH value a little, thus the pH value would be about 7. Boiling pure water (pH7), will result in boiled pure water being at pH value 7, as there are no impurities or minerals in it

What would melt faster a normal ice cube or a sea water ice cube?

A sea water ice cube would melt faster than a normal ice cube because sea water has a lower freezing point due to the presence of salt. This means that it would require less heat energy to melt the sea water ice cube compared to a normal ice cube.


What change causes light to be refracted as it travels from air to water?

Refraction happens when a wave (such as light) enters a medium of different density, since the energy in the wave has to travel through a different amount of matter. Water would be more dense than air, so the wave will travel with less energy and bend closer to the normal.


What is the difference of freezing points between sea water and normal water?

Not as much as I would of thought. Normal water freezes at 0 degrees and lower. Salt water freezes at about -2digrees,(-1.93 to be exact)
