Notes. 1  For a quick gluten-free gravy, while the roast is cooking, heat 2 Tbsp of butter/fat in a sauce pan. 2  If you are making the roast ahead of time, it is a great idea to use the broth left in the roasting pan to make this gravy as directed above. 3  Stretch this meal by braising extra root veggies on the side.
The remaining part of the original water molecule is called a hydroxide ion (negative charge because it kept an extra electron, shorthand = OH-). Although present at very low levels in solution, H+ and OH- ions can have enormous effects on the properties of a solution, especially when they are not in balance. In pure water, every hydroxide ion that forms creates a hydrogen ion, so there are equal numbers of anions and cations.
This only occurs at pH 7 in pure water when at 25 Â°C. A solution is acidic when the hydrogen ion concentration is greater than the hydroxide ion concentration, whatever the pH. The pH of a neutral solution is numerically equal to half the pK w of the solution.
