Ed,
When extra H+ or OH- are added to make the fluid conductive, the
H2O is no longer pure and at unit activity. In essence, energy
has been added that has partially split the water into H and O.
As a result, less energy is required as voltage to complete the
process. If the energy added to the solution in making and
adding the H+ or OH- is taken into account, the correct enthalpy
of H2O will be obtained. In other words, an apparent OU is only
caused by not taking all energy sources into account.
Yes...but... it's a little bit like "the gift that keeps on
giving" isn't it?
...in that when done properly, you only add the electrolytes once,
and following that, the lowered unit effects continue-on for an
extended time period.

BTW... (OT) ... as a curiosity, I was trying to remember the
originator of the now-trite catch-phrase: "give the gift that
keeps on giving"
... My earliest recollection from years-past is an association
with Hallmark Cards - the masters of marketing, but they probably
lifted it from literature. Does anyone know? And please, no
references to so-called "social" diseases are necessary at this
time ...
