How can additional hydrogen atoms even be added to H2O? How does it connect?
@apl2606 I don’t understand these products, but any acid will add a hydrogen to water making it a hydronium ion H3O+. If they are adding hydrogen to water it must be this way. Although the internet makes me second guess everything so I could be wrong. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronium
The acid in my case provides an H+ because the bonding between hydrogen atoms is very strong so strong that a little H+ would rather sit on waters extra paired electrons than with the citric acid or vinegar (for exmaple) it is currently bonded to. It’s happy to hang with its cousins, it’s a bit of a home body.
Keep on bustin’ the BS!

As a chemical engineer, it concerns me that ‘hydrogen’ water isn’t understood to be the same think as adding vinegar or citric acid (lemon juice) to your water. These are both weak acids and also add hydrogen ions to your water. Unless I am fundamentally missing something. All this hype has me scratching my head in confusion at times, so no wonder it needs to be debunked.
@@jennaeisel9072 So by adding some lemon juice to my water I make it bind more hydrogen?
(And if so, does the additional hydrogen make any difference to the body. I doubt it.)
@apl2606 yes to the first thing, it binds more hydrogen to water. But it is important to note it is taking the hydrogen from the lemon juice or vinegar.
For the second, I don’t know, but a nutritionist might.
@@jennaeisel9072 I see. Thus, the total hydrogen stays the same. What does the vinegar or lemon juice become with one less hydrogen?
@apl2606 Yes, exactly, the total hydrogen stays the same, but the water is now different because of this reaction. What makes citric acid an acid (or acetic acid – vinegar) is the fact that it will lose a hydrogen making the water its in acidic.The detached H+ is what makes the water now a weak acid and that weak acid can do things differently compared to water (again I am not a nutritionist so I dont know the implications are to the body) What’s left after the citric acid gives up it’s H+ is called citrate. You might have seen citrate on an ingredients list for food. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid
I didn’t even think about them talking about hydrogen and meaning a proton. As a chemist, when I hear someone say hydrogen, I assume they’re talking about diatomic hydrogen, but obviously they aren’t chemists so they might mean H+ ions. That’s such a common thing to see fitness influencers do, add weak acids to water, but so far I don’t think there’s any evidence that the hydronium has any physiological benefits.
One water molecule is two hydrogen ATOMS and one oxygen ATOM. Let’s be precise if we’re correcting someone!
What would you recommend as a balanced breakfast for someone that goes swimming early in the morning
Free hydrogen atoms in solution is literally the definition of an acid. So is this to counteract all yhe alkaline water these people are drinking?

Please talk slower! I think you have a lot of amazing knowledge to share, but its very hard to understand you if almost every shorts video is so sped up :/
Exactly 💯
Could you please slow down, I can’t understand what you are saying, unless I listen like 5 times to make out all the words.🤔💙
