Because it's not pure water. It has other minerals and additives in it, which throw off the pH a bit. Tap water's pH can vary by region of the country, or world depending upon what else is in it besides water. Even bottled water isn't pure; you have to distill it.

What is the pH of boiling water?

Normal water contains impurities and minerals, so during boiling, these impurities are expelled, but this changes the pH value a little, thus the pH value would be about 7. Boiling pure water (pH7), will result in boiled pure water being at pH value 7, as there are no impurities or minerals in it

The change in density between air and water causes the speed of light to change, leading to refraction. Light bends towards the normal when it enters a denser medium like water, due to its lower speed in water compared to air.

A sea water ice cube would melt faster than a normal ice cube because sea water has a lower freezing point due to the presence of salt. This means that it would require less heat energy to melt the sea water ice cube compared to a normal ice cube.


What is the difference of freezing points between sea water and normal water?
