What are the uses of distilled water?
961554
Distilled water is used when an absolute known water quality is desired. We use distilled water in the manufacture of various chemical products, intravenous solutions, medications, syrups, and in industry to protect delicate instruments from the build-up of calcium and iron. It is used in batteries to prolong the life of wet cells and as the dilutent for the electrolyte. We use distilled water to flush wounds during surgery and as a solvent for lyophlized medications and vaccines. It is seldom drunk because it has no taste (the taste of water is due to the mineral content which is removed by distillation). Most processed liquids that are consumed use distilled water so as to keep the original taste of the product.

Distillation. Put sugar water in a crucible or beaker and heat over a burner. When all the water has evaporated, the sugar will be left. If you are actually going to carry out this experiment, be careful to not burn the sugar after the water has evaporated, unless you don't mind throwing out the beaker or doing some serious scrubbing.

Do you mean demineralized water?\n\nReverse osmosis is the most economical way.\n\nCheck out millipore, look up their RO products.

I think this is the best question I've seen yet....yes indeed....very good question. You are very wise grasshopper....Hmmmm....A product to Market?  I can think of several products that you could market.....I'll give you one....\n\nYou could market "Countertop Water Distillers."  I just bought one myself and I use it everyday.  A distiller turns bad tap water into pure water if you do it right.  The method is to filter your tap water through activated charcoal,  then distill it, and then filter it one more time through activated charcoal. This will pretty much give you absolute pure drinking water.  I paid about $135.00 for distiller that I bought\n\nNow....I'll go a step further and help you with your "sales pitch."\n\nThat fact is....there is no such thing as "good tap water" anymore. I don't care where you live or how good your tap water taste.  Here's the reality.....All tap water comes from either rain or snow.  The Board of Water Supply harnesses the water and adds a bunch of chemicals to it to make it safe. Then they pump it to the customers.  Right?   Ok....but......realize this....\n\nAll rain is "Acid Rain"  There is so much pollution in our atomshere that it doesn't matter where you live. A lot of it comes from China, Asia, Europe and the United States. This "Acid Rain"  or  "Snow"  contains 100's of different harmful chemicals.\nOnce it makes contact with the ground it starts to pick up more chemicals.  Like Pesticides and Animal Feces. The water will also pick up "Minerals."  However they are mostly "Depleted Minerals"  that only cause "Gull Stones" and  "Kidney Stones." \n\nFinally, the water flows to the  "Board of Water Supply."  Their  routine is to dump as much "Bleach" as it takes ...to "override" and "kill" all the other  Bacteria and Chemicals that are in the water.  Bam!  Finished Product!  Drink up! \n\nThe reason why so many people say they have good tap water where they live.... is because they have grown so used to the taste.  \n\nI thought I had good drinking water were I lived ....but....After I purchased my distiller and drank "pure water" for a month....I went back and tasted the water right out my tap. I could really taste the difference.  Big Time.  It was like drinking "Swimming Pool" water. I couldn't believe the difference and I will only drink  distilled water for the rest of my life.\n\nGood Luck on your assignment....and you better give me best answer.....Ha!...Ha!.....lol.

There are still 1.3 billion people with insufficient drinking water supplies, 13,000 people die each day from illnesses related to their drinking water. Even filtration provides little more than an expensive, even fatal, illusion. If the filter has been in place too long, which is hard to determine, bacteria flourishes and the danger is greater than ever. The costs for new filters must also be considered. This leads to a situation where users, particularly in poorer countries, risk their health and their lives due to lack of money. The UV sterilisation method, often over-estimated, requires a lot of maintenance and is often only able to sterilise. Suspended solids are often insufficient, chemicals and heavy metals are not removed.\n\nWater distillation, however, offers a perfect solution, as has been demonstrated by vapour compression and multi-stage condensing. Individual households on the other hand, particularly in the USA, make use of smaller distillation apparatus, in which drinking water is produced and connections also made to ice-cube machine.\nIn Germany, however, public opinion still views distilled water as a health risk. In fact the very opposite is the case. All minerals contained in water are inorganic and are only expelled from the body with great difficulty, if at all. The result is calcium deposits, stones in the bladder, gall-bladder and kidneys. Even expensive mineral water has minerals which are more often detrimental to health than beneficial, the remainder having a mostly homeopathic effect. In order to satisfy our mineral intake requirements from drinking water alone, we would have to drink some 2-3 cubic metres of water per day. In fact, we satisfy our mineral requirements with our food intake. The disadvantage of distillation up to now has been its relatively high energy consumption.\n\nSolar distillation plants have already been around for a number of decades, first being used in the 1950’s, mainly for the desalination of sea water. Large collecting areas supplied whole villages and industrial plants. These developments sadly came to a halt as a result of the enormously lowered prices for energy derived from oil and atomic power.\nSince 1985, Wilfried Rosendahl has been further developing solar distillation on Gran Canaria. His success is viewed as a sensation by experts. By using his process it is possible to produce drinking water economically, from small units as well as large ones. The price of water produced from a medium sized unit (>1 m³/d) is less than 3 Euro per cubic metre!\n\n \nThe principle is amazingly simple. Untreated water like sea water or contaminated water is added to an upper channel in controlled amounts. From there it drips over wicks and a black coloured absorber fleece through the collector. A part evaporates from the energy of the sun and the steam condenses under the glass cover. The condensation runs into the condensation channel. The remaining untreated water is collected in front of it and diverted out of the side of the collector. Both the untreated water channel and the condensation channel have supply points on the sides. Since there are no moving parts the whole system requires almost no maintenance.\n\nAlthough this seems simple today, the development process required solutions to numerous problems. A result was the use of stainless steel for all components that were in contact with water, use in sea water or brackish water required a special alloy. Different textiles were tested for their suitability as an absorber fleece. The important factor is good capillary characteristics with water content as low as possible, also resistance to rotting. A special dye was developed for the colouring. UV resistance is a must. Resistance to salt water and capillary characteristics are further requirements, coupled with non-toxicity, these proved to be a problem in the first months of operation, where many of the dyes tested emitted toxic fumes, which entered the drinking wa

What about adding in another....Disstilled water, which can be caught using a container when it rains or via a disstilling machine or you can buy it now off the shelf. This is water in it's purest form!!!

its either desalnation or distillation

Distillation is the way to go.

Distilled water is just that, distilled, pure water. If you take tap water and boil it you will find a whitish buildup on the side of the pot or pan you boil it in. Now if you would have placed that same water  in your furnace you would get that same buildup. When that happens in pipes it is called scale or scale buildup. When that happens you loss the efficiency of the furnace, it makes it harder to heat.

Deionized water (known as "DI water" in labs) is used in chemical analysis.  When performing analytical chemistry, you don't want your water contaminated with the typical minerals you find in drinking water.  You just want pure H2O.

I'm going to assume you mean water distillation.  Water distillation is done by evaporating water (one change of state: evaporation), and then cooling that water vapor (another change of state) and collecting the liquid water.

rinse in just plain water and than take a gulp of gin or whiskey, the water  is for the leftover food , the alcohol is for disinfection/\nand now to be serious, don't be cheap buy a bottle.

Simple. To avoid salt deposition on the cathode and anode. Simple tap water has many salts, whereas distilled water has a very less or negligible amount of salt. Answer is according to my logic. Need'nt be correct.

You'd be better off buying water cleaned by reverse osmosis, I work in a chemical plant where we make Hydrogen Peroxide. We have a customer the want high purity Peroxide. So we run our distilled peroxide through reverse osmosis and it cleans it better than distilled.

There is a difference between Distilled water and drinking water. Distilled water is pure water that have been used in batteries. We drink mineral water that contains some chemical compounds which is essential for normal health. We do not drink distilled water. Normally, lead-acid battery uses Distilled water. Using Mineral water in the battery will spoil your battery. \n\nDrinking every time with distilled water will not provide the chemical compounds that are essential for your normal health. Drinking distilled water every time will spoil your health.

basically you're talking about distilling water, which is a purification technique.  collect the water vapor and let it condense. the result is pure water.

Distill it.\n\nIn cooking, supposedly you can put a piece of raw potato (sometimes, the hint says a piece of lettuce) in food that's too salty and it takes the salt out.  But I don't know if that works.  I'd go with distillation.  \n\nDistillation is where you boil a liquid and then catch the vapor and condense it.  In the case of salt water, the vapor would be plain water with nothing dissolved in it (the salt gets left behind in whatever you use to boil the liquid in.)  Distillation is also used to make an alcoholic liquid more alcoholic.  I guess the alcohol gets vaporized and condensed.
