The average pH of water is between 6 to 8.5
Explanation:
- Water has a pH value 7 which is neutral.
- On the pH scale, the pH value from 1 to 7 is termed as acidic, while the pH value greater than 7 is termed as basic.
- If water has a pH of less than 7 then it will be acidic and if greater than 7 it will be basic. At pH 7 means it is neutral.
- For surface water, the normal range is 6.5 to 8.5 and for groundwater is between 6 to 8.5.
