We must also measure temperature of our water because:
- Equilibrium state in all chemical reactions depends on
temperature
- e.g. its easier to dissolve sugar in a hot drink than a cold
one, because the solubility of sugar (and most chemicals) in
water increases with temperature
- similarly, pH depends strongly on temperature Fig. 4.5

Variation of pH vs. temperature.
