How is heated water still neutral even though the pH drops below 7?
In: 0
Okay let’s look at it this way. Imagine you had a solution of OH- and a solution of H+ ions. You mix them together but it is so hot that they cannot bond to produce water. The solution is overall neutral as the concentrations of H and OH ions are equal, however it is also highly acidic and basic in nature because there are extremely high concentrations of both H and OH ions in the solution.
