Purification of Water Experiments: The Effect of Distillation on pH and Salt Content of Seawater

The video tutorial demonstrates a series of experiments to explore the effects of distillation on seawater, focusing on pH and salt content. It begins with an introduction to the importance of purifying seawater to make it potable. The experiment involves comparing pH values of rainwater, spring water, and seawater, determining the mass of salts in seawater, and observing changes after distillation. The tutorial details the equipment used and provides a step-by-step guide to the experimental process, concluding with a summary of the results, showing a reduction in both salt content and pH after distillation.
