Powder (Anhydrous Containing No Water) - It Turns

There are three main ways to test for water: checking its freezing and boiling points, using anhydrous cobalt(ii) chloride which turns pink in the presence of water, and examining its purity levels. Water found naturally requires purification by filtering out large particles, using aluminum sulphate to remove smaller particles, filtering through sand and gravel to remove very small particles and bacteria, and chlorinating to kill any remaining bacteria. Clean air is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and small amounts of noble gases, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

CHEMICAL TEST FOR WATER There are a few ways to test for water: Pure water freezes/melts at exactly

ly 0O C and boils at exactly 100O C. Therefore, if a given substance melts and boils at precisely those temperatures, the substance is water. Anhydrous cobalt(ii) chloride is a blue powder (anhydrous = containing no water). It turns pink in the presence of water.

PURIFICATION OF WATER Water found naturally in the Earth usually contains impurities such as diseases and bacteria. Before the water can be drunk or used by humans, it must be purified (to get rid of the impurities). 1. Water that is extracted from the Earth is stored in reservoirs. The water in these reservoirs is sent to treatment plants. 2. The water is first passed through a filter in order to filter out large objects such as rocks and mud. 3. Next, a small amount of aluminium sulphate is added. This causes the smaller particles in the water to stick together, forming larger pieces, and settle at the bottom of the filter. 4. The water is then put through a sand and gravel filter, which removes the very small particles and bacteria. 5. The water then goes through a process of chlorination. Chlorine gas is bubbled through the water to kill any remaining bacteria. If the water becomes too acidic due to this process, sodium hydroxide may be added to balance the waters pH level.
