distilled water property
-
Distilled water is completely neutral.
You say you have learned chemistry, but you have said nothing about the autoionization of water.
In distilled water [H+] = 1.0e-7 and [OH-] = 1.0e-7. pH and pOH are both 7. Which is neutral.
I've seen you post a few times about chemistry, Rconover, and you are almost exclusively wrong in ever topic (by the way, your comment is impertinent to the discussion).
Also triclops200, sulfuric acid is not an ionic compound; I don't know where you learned that. -
@triclops200
ionic compound = compound with an ionic bond
ionic bond = bond between metal & nonmetal
neither hydrogen (H), Sulfure (S), nor oxygen (O) is metal
Also the reason I made this post:
Chemically, water is amphoteric: it can act as either an acid or a base in chemical reactions. According to the Brønsted-Lowry definition, an acid is defined as a species which donates a proton (a H+ ion) in a reaction, and a base as one which receives a proton. -
I know what an Ionic compound is and I relize that's what ionic compounds are, I was wrong and I forgot about that.
. But that is how water makes compounds acidic is the composition into H3O (Hydronium) from the donation of a H+ ion . -
acidic in RL and acidic in PT are different things ...
in PT acid eats other particles. literally, the other particles vanish. in RL this can't happen (conservation of mass etc).
and btw: pure water (only perfect H2O) can't be acidic in the first place. the only thing that can happen is H2O -> H+ + OH- (see autoionisation) -
I know, just getting a little off-topic here. and that H+ ion makes H3O.
