Method

Method for Assessing Water Purity

To assess the purity of water, measure its melting point and boiling point using a thermometer. Record the temperatures accurately and compare them to the standard values of pure water.

  1. a

    Describe the method you would use to measure the melting point of water, including any variables you would control.

    Aim for approximately 3 distinct marking points.
