>water so pure it can dissolve metal, and is helping scientists
O-o-o-okay. very pure water dissolves metal. I went to engineering school and took advanced chemistry for nothing, because water dissolves metal when it is very pure.
And this ultra-purified, steam-distilled stuff I've been buying at the grocery store for years is just sewage, because I still have these metal fillings in my molars.
Did you read the article or is all this snark just coming from the title?
I believe his answer is: "yes".
I did read the article, but the snark is pretty much a title response. Mostly because reading the article was a waste, imo.
Eh to each their own. I thought it was neat
Well, i guess at least advanced chemistry is better than ***retarded *** chemistry!
Distilled water is not the same as the ultra purified water the article refers to. That shit is very expensive at $16 for a pint. It's used in some MIL spec tests. It should have under three parts per billion of ions. Lower was better for MIL spec testing. As soon as the bottle is opened it dissolves CO2. So, it's pretty much one bottle per test. You claim you took advance chemistry, but apparently learned little to nothing from the classes.
You are a dingbat. Buy a gallon of purified water for 89 cents. Boil it and run the steam through a copper or chem-lab glass tube. Save the condensate. $16 a pint? Please. $1 a quart, and that's about the time to do it.
As soon as that re-distilled water, that you say is more cost effective, touches the pipe, or is exposed to any gas, it no longer is absolutely pure. Water is the only universal solvent. Apparently you never really took college chemistry, like you claimed, or had access to sensitive equipment that can measure the resistance of the water to a far greater extent than a common multimeter.
