Question

What is the pH value of drinking water?

• A. $<7$
• B. $>7$
• C. equal to $7$
• D. none

Answer 1

The correct option is C equal to $7$

The pH of pure water is $7.$ In general, water with a pH lower than $7$ is considered acidic, and with a pH greater than $7$ is considered basic. The normal range for pH in surface water systems is $6.5to8.5,$ and the pH range for groundwater systems is between $6$ to $\mathrm{8.5.}$

But drinking water pH is $7.$
