AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between pH meters used for measuring pH in solutions, creams, and oils. Participants emphasize the importance of conducting personal research before asking questions and suggest that pH measurement is primarily relevant for water-based mixtures. It is noted that pH meters may not be suitable for non-aqueous substances unless they contain water. The conversation encourages the original poster to share any findings from their research to foster a more productive dialogue.

ph meters for solutions, cream and oil.
Hello, can anyone advise about specified differences between ph meters for solutions, cream and oil.

To be honest, this looks like a spam setup post, but I'll play along for now.*

At PF, we require users to do their own research before posting questions here. So what have you found in your searching so far?

Maybe @berkeman made the right guess. Otherwise, did you try checking with merchants of pH meters? Is your question based on interest from your education, your experience, or a hoped-for application? I am strongly guessing that pH measurement would only have meaning for water-based blend or mixture or solution. Or maybe for some water dispersed in non-aqueous materials. Experts could respond.
 
So I googled the question and found an interesting article quite easily.
Let's wait to the OP tells us what research they have done first.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
