Yes, this is one of the many dirty little secrets of chemistry: There isn't any such thing as pure liquid water. Distilled water is a very dilute solution of hydroxide and hydronium ions, because (like many other solvents) water reacts with itself:
2 H2O() H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
At room temperature, about 1 in every 10 000 000 water molecules has dissociated by donating a hydrogen atom to another water. Distilled water under these conditions is actually 10-7MH3O+ and 10-7M OH-.
Hydroxide ion is the caustic component of lye, and hydronium ion makes acid solutions corrosive. However, the concentrations in water are extremely low and not at all dangerous. (For an opposing opinion about the toxicity of water, click here.)
Distilled water also reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide according to
H2O() + CO2(g) H2CO3(aq)
H2CO3(aq) + H2O() H3O+(aq) + HCO3-(aq)
HCO3-(aq) + H2O() H3O+(aq) + CO32-(aq)
which brings the pH of distilled water in an open-air container down to about 5.8.

Is salt water a colloid suspension or solution?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) in water is a true solution.
Is distilled water an element compound heterogenous mixture solution or colloid?
Distilled water in a compound.
Is water a colloid or suspension or a solution?
None of these. Water is a compound, which is a pure substance.
Egg albumin in water is a colloid or a suspension or a solution?
colloidal soln
Is sand and water a solution colloid or suspension?
No, because the sand particles do not dissolve and in time will settle at the bottom making it a suspension.
Is mouthwash a colloid?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is soil in water solution suspension or colloid?
It is a suspension.
Is kerosene in water a suspension a solution or a colloid?
Kerosene is a colloid. :))
Is tap water a solution colloid or suspension?
Solution
Is sand water is a solution or a colloid?
It is a suspension.
Is salt water a colloid emulsion solution or suspension?
No. A colloid is a suspension of solid particles in a liquid medium. Salt is not suspended in water, it dissolves.
Is salt water a colloid suspension or solution?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) in water is a true solution.
Is a cola soft drink a colloid solution or suspension?
Soda water is a solution of water and carbon dioxide gas.
Is distilled water an element compound heterogenous mixture solution or colloid?

colliod
Is water a colloid or suspension or a solution?
None of these. Water is a compound, which is a pure substance.
Is cordial in water a suspension or colloid?
Solution actually. Cordial is itself a solution, so adding water to it just changes concentration.
