In the process of distillation, during condesation the temperature of water decreases Hence absorption of CO2 takes place and some H2CO3 is formed. This is an acid (though very weakly) so water turns acidic. Double distillation enhance this so theoritical pH is 7.0 but practically less than 7.0 (6.2 to 6.8)

Is the solution Distilled Water acidic alkaline or neutral?

Distilled water is theoretically neutralDistilled water is water that has many of its impurities removed through distillation.Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container.Hypothetically, distilled water should always be at a neutral pH 7. Immediately upon being exposed to air, however, distilled water's pH decreases and becomes more acidic. Neutralizing distilled water is possible, but its neutral pH does not last.


Is distilled water an acid?

i think no.but it gives an acidic taste


Is Cl2O basic or acidic?

Cl2O is acidic. When it reacts with water, it forms a solution that is acidic in nature due to the formation of hypochlorous acid.


Is pH 7.38 neutral?

No, a pH of 7.38 is slightly acidic. In pH scale, 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is basic.


Is soda an acid base or is it neutral?

It is acidic. It contains phosphoric acid.


Are salts neutral?

Because the charges of the positive and negative ions balance each other out. For every amount of positive charge, there is an equal amount of negative charge and vice versa. (for example in magnesium chloride if you have 1 mole of Mg2+ ions, the you will have 2 moles of Cl- ions.)


Neutral substances have this pH?

Neutral substances have a pH of 7, which means they are neither acidic nor basic. Water is an example of a neutral substance with a pH of 7.


The color of methylorange indicator in a neutral solution?

an universal indicator paper tells you how acid or how alkali it is acid - red alkali - blue neutral - green


What pH value indicates a neutral element?

A pH value of 7 indicates a neutral element. This means that the solution is neither acidic nor basic, but right in the middle.


Is salt acaline or acidic?

no salt is neutral at 25 C when NaCl is placed in water it is producing Na+ and Cl-. the two ions do not react with water as they are both weak so the solution is said to be neutral with pH of 7


Is strawberry acidic or basic?

acidic i think


Explain where the acid basic and neutral ranges ar locate onte pH scale?

7 is considered neutral. Anything below that is acidic and anything above that is basic. 1 being the most acidic and 14 being the most basic. I think most people would consider something "acidic" until it is about 5pH or anything "basic" until about 9pH. However, saying something that is 6.9pH is slightly acidic is technically correct. http://www.ec.gc.ca/WATER/images/manage/qual/a3p7e-sm-rev.gif
