STAGE 8
---------------
It is then stored?
in a reservoir
24 of 38
However some countries may only have what?
salty (sea) water
25 of 38
What two processes can be used to turn sea water into potable water?
desalination (distillation)
reverse osmosis
26 of 38
REVERSE OSMOSIS
---------------------
Firstly, the sea water is placed with a ?
partially permeable membrane
27 of 38
The salt particles are ____ ______ to ______ through the _______?
Salt particles are too big to pass through the membrane
28 of 38
However the water?
will pass through
29 of 38
Why is it called reverse osmosis?
since normally in osmosis water moves from high to low conc but here it is moving from low to high
30 of 38
This process along with distillation will require a lot of?
energy

HOW TO CALCULATE MASS OF DISSOLVED SALT IN A WATER SAMPLE
-------------------------
Firstly weigh what?

32 of 38
The pour?
the solution into the basin
33 of 38
Then ______ the solution to ______ the water?
heat solution to evaporate the water
34 of 38
This will leave behind?
crystals of salt
35 of 38
Then weigh?
the basin with the salt in
36 of 38
Then do what calculation?
mass of evaporating basin- mass of salts
37 of 38
What is one way to test if water is pure?
add it to anhydrous copper sulfate, if pure it will turn blue
