My brother did an experiment and measured pH in soil around here with pH test 
paper and mixing the soil with distilled water.  I read that acid free paper is 
better for keeping a important documents.  If can I tear up the paper and mix 
it with distilled water could I measure the pH.  It makes me think that a low 
pH would have more acid and not be good paper for keeping things a long time.
