Hydrogen hydroxide is water. Otherwise known as dihydrogen monoxide. The use of scientific names for water has been used in many spoofs to fool gullible people into thinking its some dangerous substance or pollutant. Quite funny. The term hydrogen hydroxide comes from looking at a water molecule as the pairing of H+ + OH- ions. Water does dissociate like this. Also, dihydrogen monoxide is from the H2O molecular formula where there are 2 hydrogen atoms, the "di" hydrogen, and 1 oxygen atom, the "mon(o)" oxide, in the molecule.
