The document describes procedures for determining the pH of water and soil samples using a pH meter. pH measures how acidic or basic a substance is on a scale of 0-14. The water sample tested was found to have a neutral pH of 7.3, while the soil sample had a slightly acidic pH of 6.5, which is optimal for plant growth as most nutrients are available within this range. Calibration of the pH meter and consideration of temperature effects are important for accurate pH measurement.
