Distilled water is just water, the only possible impurity being a little hydrogen chloride. Tap water contains minerals from the rocks where it was collected, plus chemicals added by the water company to make it safe.
It sometimes isn't. Distilled water contains nothing but water; hence it does not have any of the minerals that our bodies can absorb from tap water, such as some calcium and fluoride. However, tap water can also often contain other chemicals or substances that are not healthy.
The choice between which is better really depends on where you are living and where you receive your water from.
Because tap water is just bringing water to you. Distilled water is getting the water, and also, boiling it then collecting the condensation for 100% pure water. If it doesn't say distilled, but still says "pure," then it is just filtered water, which still contains minerals other than water. Also "pure" water is more expensive than tap water.
Distilled water contains only water. Tap water, which is almost entirely water, does contain some trace quantities of other things, which would include chlorine residue from the disinfecting process used at the water plant, and some minerals.
Many people prefer distilled water over tap water since it has been ridden of its many impurities. There are theories that the fluoride found in most tap water is collected largely in the pineal gland. The pineal gland is located between the two hemispheres of the brain and its responsible for the synthesis and secretion of the hormone melatonin, which maintains your body's circadian rhythm and other functions relating to the onset of female puberty. It's not yet proven that fluoride has an effect on the pineal gland, but experiments on animals have shown that increased fluoride reduced melatonin levels and shortened the time to puberty.
I currently drink just plain tap water. Is there any health benefit to distilled water for drinking?
There are chemical added to the tap water. It contain various types of natural but relatively harmless contaminants such as scaling agents like calcium carbonate in hard water and metal ions such as magnesium and iron, and odoriferous gases such as hydrogen sulfide. There are also fluoride in it. It is not pure.
Since water is the Universal Solvent and Distilled water although is not the best water to be used but is free of any solids and ions and thus is used in Chemical and other testing purposes. The best option is not distilled water but DOUBLE DISTILLED DEIONIZED WATER
theoretically water when boiled becomes distilled water, boiling water gets rid of any impurities in tap water...so you could say boiled water which is then cooled is cleaner than tap water
Distilled water is the best insulator for listed choices because it has no ion's in it.
distilled water is used (as opposed to tap water) as it does not contain ions or impurities that may affect the results of the titration, usually by reacting with the acid/alkali themselves or by changing the pH of the solution.As water is pH 7, it is neutral and will not change the pH.
Distilled water means purified and clean. It is used to instead of tap water because in tap water there can be dirt and particles that can be a contaminating if put on a swab and used in the human body.
Tap water is used to wash the excess stain from a slide prepared from a smear. You can use tap water instead of distilled water because you aren't worried about a precipitate forming and tap water is much cheaper than distilled.
There are impurities and added chemicals in tap water that may alter the sample testing result.
Tap water often has additives, distilled water is justwater

Distilled water. It has less bacteria and chemicals in it than tap water.
NO. But you should use distilled water mixed at a 50/50 ratio with anti-freeze and not tap water. It will however have no effect whatsoever on your mileage.

Distilled.
Distilled water is neutral.
Tap water contain some minor impurities.
Distilled water is more pure than tap water or seawater.
