What is great about this claim is that we can falsefy this ourselves with simple ph paper.
pH paper is a rapid, manual tool used to estimate the acidity or alkalinity of a liquid, typically measuring a range from 0 to 14. It changes color based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution—turning red/orange for acids, yellow/green for neutral, and blue/violet for bases—which is then compared to a color chart to determine the pH value.
Key Aspects of pH Paper:
How it Works: The paper is treated with a combination of pH indicators (weak acids or bases) that change color when they react with the ions in the solution.
The pH Scale:
0–<7: Acidic (Red, Orange, Yellow).
7: Neutral (Green).
>7–14: Basic/Alkaline (Blue, Indigo, Violet).
Usage: A strip is dipped into the liquid, and the resulting color is matched against a provided chart.
Accuracy and Limitations:
Subjectivity: pH paper is less precise than a digital pH meter because it relies on the user's interpretation of colors.
Limitations: It can be less accurate in heavily buffered or weak solutions.
Best Practice: Readings should be taken immediately while the paper is still wet, as colors can change upon drying.
