Experiment 8 - To Study PH of Different Types of Soil

This experiment aims to study the pH of different types of soil samples. Soil samples from two sites are dissolved in distilled water and their pH is measured using pH paper. The pH is first measured with broad range pH paper to get an approximate value, then more accurate narrow range pH paper is used to obtain the correct pH value. The pH values of different soil samples are then recorded in an observation table.

EXPERIMENT 2.

22
AIM: To study pH of different types of soil.

REQUIREMENTS
Soil samples (from two different sites such as garden soil, roadside soil, pond, bank soil),test
tubes, funnel, filter paper, pH papers of different range distilledwater, beaker.

PROCEDURE
Dissolve one tablespoon soil from each soil sample in 100 ml of distilled water in separate
beakers. Stir the solutions well and keep for half an hour to settle down the suspended particles. Filter
off each solution in different test tubes. Dip a small piece of broad range pH paper in each of the soil
solution. Match the colour of the pH paper with the colour scale given on the pH
paper booklet. This
gives an aPproximate pH. For more accurate value, take a piece of narrow range pH paper of the value
indicated by broad range pH paper and dip them separately in the soil water suspensions. Match the
colour of the papers with the pH scale given on the pH paper booklet. This will give the correct value
ofthe pH of the soil samples.

OBSERVATION
Record the pH of different soil samples in the observation table.
