[Bio] pH probe confusion

[Otute Akiti]

You should probably keep the probe in water for now. We can refill with KCl

It looks like KCl is not too difficult to obtain in solid form. Then we'll
have to the appropriate solution for the electrode - typically it is a 3M
solution.

Here is a link for the pH of vinegar and other stuff:
