How would you confirm that a colourless liquid given to your is pure water ?
Advertisements
Solution
You can boil it and if it starts boiling at 100⁰ C, it might be water. You can also check its reactivity with some metals such as sodium and potassium that react violently with water. The best way, to prove that it is pure water, is to do experiments to see if it has the same capabilities and chemical behaviour as water has.
