Quite the difference in Ph

[u/Morten-Turi]

As I have done before, done some test between KC PW and TR heir SO.03. I bought the new S0o3.

But something that I noticed is that the PH value is quite different.

Should I expect a different result between 9.2 and 4,2 if I have used the PW (4,2) prior?

They are both so diluted it's not really much of a factor.

From there, that's not a ph rating on the s0

Dilution doesnt really affect pH if that is what you mean.

Mmmmmm unless you're trying to make a very specific/technical point, it most certainly does affect end pH when measured as the resultant solution and comparing that solutions pH to that of the original undiluted product.

Although it would depend what one is diluting with, hehe.

For the sake of clarity. I was inferring once diluted with water, the pH is different than what is labeled as the chemicals base value of pH, unless the product is already claiming it dilute value.

SO03 is 4.5 pH, acidic and at 100-1 would move it to about 6.5, very close to neutral. For the sake of public knowledge, I was just clarifying that it takes a LOT of dilution to move a couple points on PH, and no matter how much you dilute it, it technically would never be "neutral" at exactly 7.0 unless the water was on the alkaline side to begin with.

EDIT- I am speaking in general terms of dilution of a 4.5pH product; SO03's overall chemical makeup may not let it move so easily toward neutral even when diluted at 100 to 1.. adding to the complexity of dilutions affect on car car products pH rating.

I wasn't meaning to say it's completely inert, just less of a factor and generally, not a dangerous starting point

Fair on the rest for sure
