@Dred_pirate how did you like opaline silica?
I stopped using it. I have a preferred ratio of other adsorbents that I prefer to use

You can make something acidic without using water
Running over dehydrated W1 will still Acidify your solution it just won’t alter your pH unless water is present
I know this thread is old, I am just confused if this is a joke or a serious statement.
How can acidification happen without changing the pH? I’m not an accredited chemist, how can a substance be acidified and not lower the pH?
Ph is a measurement that only happens in water. If you mix something like citric acid in with your media (not that you would ever want to do this) wouldnt your media still be acidic? You can protonate alcohols by adding acid to it. It wont effect the pH though unless you have water in there to measure pH with

Holy hell!
That is a chemistry fact I was absolutely unaware of.
Thank you!
