Types of water

@helenS thanks I forgot spring

@helenS It's use is in Chemical and biological labs as also in industry

@Babaloo6 Yes, it's just H2O, not water.

@mbai2223 Thank you – I opted for spring water, of course. 🌷

@being Distilled water will kill you. If you drink nothing but distilled "water", you will die. Because it's not water.

@helenS yes I realised the comment was about distilled water..

@helenS Ok explain that. You are saying that water converted to steam is not water? And that steam condensation is not water? And that its toxic to consume and will kill you? None of that is true.

@helenS Distilled is the purest water in the world, and has no taste, I drank it for years, until a dr told me to stop as it was leaching electrolytes from my body.

@helenS Distilled is water in its most pure form, H2O is the chemical formula for it.

@helenS Did you fail basic chemistry class in school?

@NativePortlander1970 Oh yes, perhaps 😏

@helenS Distilled water is pure H2O. You may not like the taste but it works in your body the same as any other water.

@LeopoldBloom I think scientists shouldn't use ordinary language words to give a chemical substance a name. I would call pure H2O "hydrogen oxide". "Water" is much more than just that. It's a mixture of many things; it contains dissolved molecular oxygen (without which fish could not survive in water), dissolved CO2 (a part of which reacts with hydrogen oxide to form HCO3-), and a variety of ions such as sodium ions, potassium ions, calcium ions, etc. That's water.
