Question

What is pH of saltine crackers?

Answer 1

Hint: pH is related to the concentration of hydronium ions . This concept of pH cannot be used by considering those substances which do not dissolve in water to form hydronium ions.
pH scale is called logarithmic scale.

Complete answer:
pH is a measurement of level of acid or alkali in a substance.
It is a scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.
Saltine crackers are defined as essentially mixtures of flour, yeast and baking soda. Flour and yeast are not soluble in water, so pH is not applicable.
Baking soda is water soluble as it is a weak base.
But in baking the cracker the baking soda will react with any acidic components and will create the usual leavening effect, so we can say that in the finished cracker there should be nothing water soluble, acidic nor basic present.
Saltines are just crackers that when used alone are good only for settling nausea and indigestion.
Diamond Brand cream crackers are also called sodium rich cookies.
Saltines are crackers that are just sodium rich crackers which are sprinkled with salt.
Foods high in starch such as saltines, bread, and toast help to settle a queasy stomach by absorbing stomach acids .
Keep a handful of crackers on your nightstand and eating a few before you get out of bed may help ease nausea in the morning.
A soda cracker is usually a square cracker and is thin in size.
 Saltines can be eaten as a light snack, with cheese, butter, peanut butter or any other spread.
Hence, pH cannot apply as saltine crackers are not soluble in water.

Note:
ph is applicable to only those substances which are soluble in water. It is a measurement of the level of acid or alkali in a substance.Acidic solutions will have lower pH values than basic or alkaline solutions.
