Foul Water Lab Report

The intention of the “Foul Water” lab was to purify a sample of sewage water and conserve as much as possible. The water should be clean enough to wash your hands with. My hypothesis is that the water will be cleaner than the initial water sample, but not to the standard that I would wash my hands with. Significant terms to know include purification, filtration, adsorption, volume, clarity, dissolved, filtrate, impurities, pipette, clay triangle, funnel cone, iron ring, beaker, and Erlenmeyer flask. Cautions to be aware of is to not pour any sand or gravel into the sink and do not test the water sample by drinking or tasting. There will not be any toxic chemicals involved in this lab. To perform this experiment you will need this equipment listed; 100 mL graduated cylinder, Beral pipet or disposable pipet, 5 mL of distilled water, 100 mL of foul water, straightened paper clip, disposable cup, gravel, sand, 150 mL beaker, filter paper, funnel, clay triangle, iron ring, ring stand, 1 tsp of charcoal, 125 mL to a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, test tube brush, solid background, stirring rod, and a cleaning detergent.
Measure the volume using a solid background to get an accurate reading. Record the initial amount in a data table.
In the data table, record the physical properties of your sample.
Letting your sample sit for one minute, undisturbed. Remove the uppermost layer of liquid. Place this liquid in a
