Some people say that drinking slightly alkaline water — with a pH between 8 and 9 — can improve your health. They say it may make you age more slowly, maintain a healthy pH in your body, and block chronic disease like cancer.

The hydronium ion concentration can be found from the pH by the reverse of the mathematical operation employed to find the pH. [H3O+] = 10-pH or [H3O+] = antilog (- pH) Example: What is the hydronium ion concentration in a solution that has a pH of 8.34? 8.34 = – log [H3O+]

pH is the measurement of hydrogen ion activity.

Basic solutions are those with hydronium ion molarities less than 1.0 × 10−7 M and hydroxide ion molarities greater than 1.0 × 10−7 M (corresponding to pH values greater than 7.00 and pOH values less than 7.00).

Hydrogen ion concentration is more conveniently expressed as pH, which is the logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion concentration in gram moles per liter. Thus, in a neutral solution the hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydroxyl ion (OH−) concentrations are equal, and each is equal to 10−7. A pH of 7 is neutral.

Ranking of the ‘Best’ Tasting Bottled Water

• Ice Mountain.
• Evian.
• Aquafina.
• Dasani.
• Smartwater.
• Voss.
• Fiji.

Although Aquafina scored higher than Dasani, it was actually the more polarizing choice; three people ranked Aquafina highest on their list, and one person ranked it lowest. Much like Dasani, nobody was able to identify Aquafina….Is Aquafina fluoridated?
