Frequently asked questions
- What everyday substances have known pH values?
- Lemon juice ~2, coffee ~5, pure water 7, baking soda ~9, bleach ~12.
- Does pH change with temperature?
- Yes. Pure water at 25 °C has pH 7, but at 100 °C it has pH ~6.1 — still neutral because both H⁺ and OH⁻ concentrations rise equally.
