The discussion centers on the properties of distilled battery water, specifically its reaction with copper hydroxide, which produces a greenish solution. The liquid in question is identified as a mixture of distilled water and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) commonly found in lead-acid batteries. When copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) reacts with diluted sulfuric acid, it typically forms copper sulfate (CuSO4) and water, with copper sulfate appearing deep blue in solution. The green color observed suggests the presence of an impurity or contamination in the sulfuric acid, potentially forming a complex with copper ions, as seen with citric acid. The exact nature of the contaminant remains uncertain, but the reaction indicates that the battery water is not pure sulfuric acid.
