The range goes from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. Each number represents a 10-fold change in the acidity/basicness of the water. Water with a pH of five is ten times more acidic than water having a pH of six.]]> 2016-10-07 13:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129116279 n_sweenor https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129117037 As can be seen on the chart, the normal PH of a river or stream can be anywhere from 6-8]]> 2016-10-07 13:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129117037 n_sweenor https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129118306 2016-10-07 13:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129118306 PH accross the Country n_sweenor https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129118860 The ph of water sources can vary from place to place, here is the ph levels of water accross the U.S]]> 2016-10-07 13:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129118860 Environmental Consequences n_sweenor https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129119496 Having too high or too low ph in a body of water can affect the aquatic life in a variety of negative ways. ph determines biological availability, which is the amount that can be used by aquatic life.]]> 2016-10-07 13:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129119496 Key Terms n_sweenor https://padlet.com/n_sweenor/b9nnpblps96p/wish/129121926
