Many processes which are essential for life require a certain pH range for them to proceed optimally. The pH of a
standing water can change cyclically with the seasons or
in the course of a day. Different pH values can also be
found in the various horizontal and vertical zones.
The measurement of pH so allows a description of the condition of the water, and supplies information on impairment
by the introduction of H3O+ ions by acids (e.g. nitric acid
and sulphuric acid). In this experiment, the pH values of
various water samples are to be determined.
