Water
ByNeil Bronks
Water is important
• 70% of the earth • 89% of the human body• Only 3% is fresh and most of that is
in the polar ice caps
Water is a compound
• Chemically bonded atoms of Oxygen and Hydrogen

Ice Floats
• Most substances contract and get denser as they become a solid
More dense solid sinks
Ice Floats
• Ice expands and so floats on water. • Lucky for us
Less dense solid floats
Frozen Pond
Water Cycle
Water TreatmentScreening - Clean water passes through the screen and large objects do not
Sedimentation• Alum (Aluminium Sulphate) is added that
makes all the dirt stick together.• Most sinks
Then Filter through sand
Add Chlorine• Kills the bacteria

Add Fluorine• Prevents tooth decay

Water Treatment
Screening - Clean water passes through the screen and large objects do not pass
Sedimentation - Aluminium Sulphate is added. It is mixed slowly and then allowed to settle.
Filtration – passes through sandAdd chlorine to kill
bacteria. Add flourine to prevent tooth decay.
Desalination• Removing salt
Clear Plastic
Sea Water
Pure Water
Stone
Electrolysis of Water
Electrolysis of WaterWater separated into gases using electricitySome acid must be added to increase conduction
Algal Bloom
• Too much fertiliser or food waste can feed algae causing a harmful algal bloom
• This uses up all the oxygen and kills fish
Hard and soft water• Add soap and mix
Add Soap solution
Add Soap solution
Hard WaterFew
BubblesOily scum
Soft WaterLots of
Bubbles
Hard Water
• Contains dissolved calcium and magnesium ions
• Forms scum when soap is used
• Scale on inside of pipes and kettles
Where hard water comes from
Acid Rain
Limestone
Water dissolves the limestone (Calcium Carbonate) and the calcium
ions make the water hard
Water that runs off straight to
rivers and lakes is soft water
Removing Hardness from water
• Distillation• Ion exchange with Zeolite
resins• Soft water better for industry
and plumbing• Hard water better for your
heart
Advantages and Disadvantages of Hard and
Soft Water

HardGood for Heart and Beer
