Question

1. Pure water is neutral in pH or has a pH value of exactly 7.00. How does the pH of pure water vary  when it undergoes distillation and boiling? Show the important equations if necessary, to explain  why distilled and boiled water deviate from the neutral pH. 

2. Some distilled water showed pH of 9.00 or marketed as alkaline water. What is the procedure  involved in converting the pH of neutral water to basic? Show the necessary equations if possible.  Can alkaline water help in the treatment of hyperacidity and gastroesophageal reflux disease?  Explain your answer.
