How did that related to creationism? [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 15:55, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Wild speculation about a possible way of creating "genuine" alkaline water

Please note that I'm writing this paragraph based on hazy memories of year 12 chemistry. Someone who actually studied this beyond high school should probably check it for veracity.

Okay, so regular water is H₂O, right? Well, not quite. Ordinary water naturally ionises itself into H⁺ ions and OH^- ions at an absurdly tiny ratio. H⁺ ions are acidic, and OH^- ions are alkaline. As water molecules split into one of each when they ionise, the pH of the water remains neutral. However, if you could add extra OH^- ions to the water, then you would have a substance which looked like water, but was alkaline. A possible way of doing this would be adding hydrogen peroxide, which is H₂O₂ and ionises into two OH^- ions. You would wind up with a substance which was "water with extra alkali".

Of course, hydrogen peroxide is, among other things, a fairly poisonous bleach. Also, not all of the peroxide molecules would ionise, so a sufficiently powerful chemical analysis could figure out that you'd been putting bleach in the water and selling it to people as a health product. This is probably a really stupid idea is what I'm saying.

Surely

Rain water is more natural than 'water sent through the tubes of the processing factory (picking up "all sorts of nasty industrial chemicals") and then stuffed into bottles before sitting on an ambient temperature shop and then in the back of your car, picking up car and motorway fumes'? 86.146.100.93 (talk) 12:41, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

More natural, sure. But not healthier, safer to ingest, purer, etc. Assuming we're talking about a non-woo water treatment plant, you would appear to believe that processing of any kind is indicative of it being some kind of "hell factory"? Proper water treatment is actually intended to get rid of stuff like pollutants from the water. I mean, forget what you do with the bottle on the way home — you think maybe "motorway fumes" might come into contact with rainwater by virtue of their co-habitation in the atmosphere? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:53, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

(EC)Sure, but there is nothing inherently better about 'natural' (Appeal to nature). Drinking water from a processing water plant, depending on the country, has higher quality control than rain water (which has none, in fact, it could be acid rain, who knows until it's actually landed or you've analysed the cloud it comes from) and probably a better balance of minerals too. It is a bit paranoid to assume "all sorts of nasty industrial chemicals". 171.33.193.245 (talk) 12:56, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

There are some countries where you can drink the stream water as it is pure enough. I was trying to sum up the woo-descriptions (hence 'stuffed into bottles). 86.146.100.93 (talk) 21:40, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

I don't get it?

How do you dilute water? I honestly don't get the bunk this company is spewing. I am not chemist or physicist but if you removed electrons from water molecules, it is no longer water. Can anyone with a good science background explain what I am missing? --Rationalzombie94 (talk) 23:50, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
