Study notes
School practical: testing tap water vs soap solution — soap water turns pink with phenolphthalein (basic), lemon juice turns blue litmus red (acidic). Farmers test soil pH — acidic soil needs lime before crops. Your stomach's HCl is pH ~2 — antacids neutralize excess acidity. Aquarium keepers test pH — fish die outside their range.
