water acidity is the ability of water to neutralize bases, resulting from dissolved CO2, acids and hydrolyzable ions.

What does water acidity mean in practice?

The parameter describes the amount of base needed to reach a specific pH and can result from CO2, mineral acids and hydrolyzing salts.

When does it matter?

Two samples with the same low pH may require completely different doses of neutralizer due to different acidities.

Which solutions are related to it?

Titration and alkalinity determination are performed and neutralization is sized based on actual demand.
