Why is distilled water added to a enzyme catalysed reaction?
Not only in enzyme catalysed reaction in all most all reactions distilled water is used, why because Every liquid you see will probably have either acidic or basic traits. One exception might be distilled water. Distilled water is just water. That’s it. The positive and negative ions in distilled water are in equal amounts and cancel each other out. Most water you drink has ions in it. Those ions in solution make something acidic or basic. In your body there are small compounds called amino acids. Those are acids. In fruits there is something called citric acid. That’s an acid, too. But what about baking soda? When you put that in water, it creates a basic solution. Vinegar? Acid. Scientists use something called the pH scale to measure how acidic or basic a liquid is. Although there may be many types of ions in a solution, pH focuses on concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). The scale goes from values very close to 0 through 14. Distilled water is 7 (right in th
