Chemical Tests for Water

Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride (blue) turns pink in the presence of water, forming hydrated cobalt(II) chloride.
Anhydrous copper(II) sulfate (white) turns blue in the presence of water, forming hydrated copper(II) sulfate.
Cobalt chloride paper is commonly used to test for water: blue → pink.
These tests are reversible: heating the hydrated salt drives off water, restoring the anhydrous colour.

Cobalt chloride paper changes from blue to pink in the presence of water

Purity of Water

Pure water has a sharp boiling point of 100 °C and melting point of 0 °C.
Impurities raise the boiling point and lower the melting point of water.
Boiling/melting point data can be used to assess water purity.
Distilled water is produced by boiling water and condensing the steam, removing most dissolved impurities.
Distilled water is used in experiments to avoid interference from dissolved ions.

Water Treatment: Sedimentation and Filtration

Untreated water contains insoluble impurities (soil, plant matter) and soluble impurities (dissolved calcium, metal compounds).
First, water is left to stand in sedimentation tanks so that heavy particles settle by gravity.
The water is then filtered through sand and gravel to remove smaller suspended particles.

Water Treatment: Carbon Filtration and Chlorination

Filtration through carbon (charcoal) removes unpleasant tastes and odours.
Chlorination kills bacteria and other microorganisms that are too small to be filtered.
Chlorine is carefully added to the water supply to prevent diseases such as cholera and typhoid.

Summary of Water Treatment Stages

Stage 1: Sedimentation and filtration – solids settle out, then the water is filtered through sand and gravel.
Stage 2: Carbon filtration – removes unpleasant tastes and odours.
Stage 3: Chlorination – kills bacteria and other microbes.

The stages of treating water are sedimentation, filtration with carbon and chlorination
