Imagine you have two small containers (say 10 milliliters each). Fill one with seawater and the other with pure water. Now, drop by drop, add dilute hydrochloric acid to each container and swirl the solution. After each drop, check the pH. What do you suppose a graph of pH versus the numberof drops would look like for pure water? For seawater? Explain the difference.
