Detailed explanation-1: -pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water has a neutral pH of 7, which indicates that it is neither acidic or basic. The scale ranges from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic). It is normal for water to have a range of between 6.5 and 8.5 on the scale. pH in water may fluctuate with differing environmental factors.

Detailed explanation-3: -A: Alkaline refers to part of the pH scale. This scale is from 0-14, the lower numbers are more acidic while the higher numbers are more alkaline with 7 being neutral. Most alkaline waters have a pH of 8 or 9 while pure water has a neutral pH of 7.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acidic water refers to water with a pH of less than 7 (1). The pH of water indicates how acidic or basic (alkaline) it is.

Detailed explanation-5: -pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0-14, with 7 being neutral.
