Despite the consistency in blender methods, the experiment performed approximately the same as it did in Experiment 7. Again, A1 reached a pH of slightly greater than 12 while A2 remained closer to 11.6. After approximately 4 hours, A2 begins to steadily drop off. A2 then continues a pattern of steady decline followed by a spike every 6 hours, at the time of the lime pulse. A1 doesn't drop below a pH of 12 until approximately 22 hours into the experiment. However, A1 then follows the same decreasing rise and fall curve with each lime pulse.
