Is there such thing as de-ionized solution?

Question

My point is, if the ion has been removed from the solution there won't be any solution, leaving only the basic liquid in which the desolved ion has been.
Chemists out there please help.

I did not mean water.

Answer 1

An ion is just a charged particle. If you have an ionic solution and you de-ionize it, you still have all of the original atomic parts, just not the polar charge.

Edit: Ok, fine. If you dissolve a sodium ion (sodium with an extra electron say) in a solution of Anything, and you wish to de-ionize the solution, you will still have sodium, but Neutral sodium. An ion means Any atom with a possitive or negative charge. So, a sodium atom with an extra electron is a negative ion, a sodium atom which is missing an electron is a positive ion. If you neutralize the ionic charge, you still have sodium in the solution.

Answer 2

Yes - as not everything that dissolves to form a solution produces ions e.g if you deionise fruit juice you will remove all the ions ( i.e. mineral salts in solution) but leave behind the organics like fructose, esters, color, vitamins etc.

Answer 3

In a strict sense, no. Suppose you have a solution of acetic acid in water. Even if there are no other molecules in this solution, water still obeys the equilibrium H2O <=> H3O+ + OH-. Acetic acid will have the equilibrium CH3COOH + H2O <=> CH3COO- + H3O+.

A deionized solution of acetic acid and water in practical terms would have ions like fluoride and iodide removed from it.

Answer 4

You're missing the point. With water from natural sources, there is always some calcium ion and carbonate ion. It is THESE ions that we try to remove.

Answer 5

there is such thing. for instance. glucose and water mixes but glucose is not an ion bcz its neutral in charge. you can have a saturated de-ionized solution if you add enough glucose or whatever neutral molecule.

Answer 6

I'm not a Chemist, but real-world experience leads me to say "yes".
