Is the Distilled water acidic/basic/neutral? How would you verify it

Answer:

Distilled water is a type of water that is completely free of ions. It’s a hydrogen and oxygen-based molecule. Distilled water is also known as deionized water or clean water.

The pH  of distilled water is neutral, meaning it is neither acidic nor basic. The neutral nature of distilled water can be proven using blue and red litmus paper. The colour of litmus paper, whether blue or red, is unaffected by distilled water.
