 Types of impurities

Physical Biological Chemical

–Fluoride and chlorine
-Suspended solids and -Most common which are partially added
total dissolved solids contaminants, potentially to remove microorganisms
most harmful. -mercury and nitrate
--These can include
bacteria, protozoans, etc.

Distilled
water

What is it and how is it made?

-Distilled water is a form of purified water

-It is water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed
back into liquid in a separate container.

-Impurities in the original water that do not boil below or

near the boiling point of water remain the original
container.
03
Why is distilled
water used in
experiments?
To Conclude,
Distilled water
-free of contaminants,
pure.
Therefore provides more
accurate experiments and
results as it doesn’t react
with other chemicals
Tap Water
-contains different types of
impurities including
dissolved ions
-Therefore, the experiment
can be hampered because
of side reactions
