changes from blue to pink changes from white to blue
Tests for purity of water
pure substances have > pure water melts at o
a set mp/bp
> pure water boils at 100
impurities
> lower the melting point of ice
> increase the boiling point of water
Distilled water consists water molecules only , it has no impurities
unlike tap water (has dissolved solids like calcium salts d impurities
like chloride and aluminium ions) Thus to get accurate results
.
distilled water is used in practical chemistry

-metal compounds provide essential minerals for growth
of plant/animal
,Harmful substances
in natural sources of water
> some metal (from industrial waste) can be toxic

Non-biodegradable plastic harm aquatic life
-
sewage contains harmful microbes that cause disease
> Nitrates& phosphates encourage growth of algae
.
Respiration of algae leads to deoxygenation of water
& damage to aquatic life/eutrophication)
