Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Can Anyone help me with this?
I have a bunch of water and me don' t know which is pure water, can anyone please give me some of the methods to indicate the pure water.
Thank a lot
Peter

Hi Peter,

There can be many kinds of impurities in water. So several tests are necessary to find out if water is pure enough to drink or use for other purposes. You might try searching on line for “water purity indicators” to find out more about this topic.

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.

Hi Peter,
Sounds like an interesting experiment! To test water purity you can purchase testing kits.But, you can also use cabbage as a cheaper alternative to test the pH of the water. Purple cabbage can serve as an indicator for acidic/basic solutions. I have attached a link below! Hope this helps
