Nowadays we often see a lot of water ads that call his product as the purest. Even if refined, bottled water producers claim to sterilize water from harmful substances.
In fact, there is no really pure water according to science. may Nyman, a researcher from Oregon State University, even mentioned that pure water would not be possible on earth.
He explained that the water molecule has two nuclei, hydrogen and oxygen. Each atomic nucleus has a different electronic charge .
In addition to sticking with the same atomic nucleus, the hydrogen bond in the water can also dissolve with molecules approaching them. The purer the water, the stronger the hydrogen bonding ability to dissolve.
For that, it is very difficult for us to produce pure water. because, at a certain stage, the water will begin to dissolve the existing ions around it, such as ions attached to the walls of the container .
Nyman then cites one of the greatest claims about water from Lake Baikal in Russia. This lake is often claimed as the owner of the purest water in the world because of the shrimp filtration system that eats organic materials in the lake and removes dirt in the water.
"Around the 90s, many people say that Lake Baikal water in Russia has an incredible purity, and if placed in a glass, this water is called will begin to erode the glass that is held due to the nature of the water that 'likes' the ions so that the ions in the glass will dissolve in water, "he said
Nyman said that the molecular nature of the water is too difficult to stop by scientists, although it is done in a sterile laboratory environment. When researching pure water, scientists will surely find a little dust or plastic packaging elements that leave traces in the water .
He continued, at a time when the scientific project needs clean water, it would be very easy to distill water in order to be clean of the impurities that could potentially disrupt the research. But the perfect pure water remains none .
