Question:

How can I prolong the existence of hydroxyl ions(OH-) in ionized water?

And what will happen to the alkalinity of water and the smaller molecule cluster when OH- is gone?

  1. Keep it away from free hydrogens.


  2. water is always ionized to some extent... the pH of the water measures the hydrogen ion concentration and consequently the OH ion concentration. Water that is neutral has a pH of 7 which means that the H+ concentration is 10^-7 mol/l and the OH- concentration is 10^-7.

    As the OH- concentration increases, the pH increases- the water becomes more basic. Unless you are doing something physically to the water (like electrolysis) and constantly removing the H+ ions, pure water (no contaminants) will always be near pH7.

    Not sure what you mean by "smaller molecule clusters".
