Question

Is distilled water an acid or a base ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey Mate

Here is your Answer

Distilled water is neutral. It is nither a base or an acid.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distilled water is NEITHER acidic nor basic. For such water, pH=7 …

But this pH scale derives from the autoprotolysis reaction of water…

2H2O(l)⇌H3O++HO−

…where the ion product… [H3O+][HO−]=10−14 , under standard conditions...and pH=−log10[H3O+] and pOH=−log10[HO−]

And so here [H3O+]=[HO−]=10−7∙mol∙L−1 …and given EQUAL concentrations of the ions which DEFINE acidity, or basicity respectively, the solution IS NEUTRAL….
