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.
2 H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq). Because we get one H 3 O + ion for each OH-ion when water dissociates, the concentration of the H 3 O + ion from the dissociation of water is always equal to the amount of OH-ion from this reaction.
