Why is distilled water neutral?

Answer 1

The number of hydroxyl ions and hydrogen ions in pure water is balanced; but a perfect neutral distilled water (pH=7,000) is only hypothetical because water absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the pH decrease under 7.

Answer 2

Distilled water is considered neutral because it has a pH of around 7, which is considered neither acidic nor basic. When water is distilled, most impurities and minerals are removed, leading to a neutral pH level.

Answer 3

If water is considered neutral, distilled water is "pure" water. Actually, water has a positional bias to its charges (dipole like).

Answer 4

It carries neither a positive or negative charge.

Answer 5

it is a neutral
