Can I use the term 'water' for a chemistry project?

Question

I have a chemistry project due on monday. Pleae help. The project's title is 'Chemistry in daily life.

I am in 7th grade.

And I would like to tell you to look at the 1st details and tell me what to do.

Answer 1

How about something dealing with providing potable water or water purification... that's a heck of a subject and there should be tons of information about it on the Internet. Besides... with the fact that drinkable water is becoming harder to obtain and the costs are going up to provide that commodity, water science will be a real 'Biggie' in the near future.

Answer 2

You can really make them think if you said HOH, in different compounds or even talk about HOH, and at the end you could just say Water is H2O which is the same as HOH.
the 2 just means there are 2 parts Hydrogen to one part Oxygen.
HOH

Answer 3

Water and H2O can be used interchangeably in any project within context. However, if ur project involves acid dissociation, it would be wise to use H2O, as the dissociation would yield a hydronium ion (H3O+).

Answer 4

I don't see anything wrong with using water. Technically, H2O is a more scientific way of saying water but saying water itself is OK. You don't have to be fancy on the word that you're using as long as it's clear and serve its functions water or H2O is fine.

Answer 5

depending what grade your in and what type of grade you want for the project. It is wise to use the h2o during a chemistry project.

Answer 6

From wikipedia...

Importantly though, under IUPAC nomenclature rules, the only acceptable chemical name for water is "water".

(IUPAC is the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry)

If "water" is good enough for them, it's good enough for your project.

Answer 7

Depending upon the situation, you can also use the term "hydration", which represents the addition of water.

Answer 8

if english is an acceptable language 4 ur project, then u can.

Answer 9

see... my dear seventh grader...
u can write "water" in paragraphs/ in the long note...but in chemical equations, u need to write H2O. And remember... if u write like this... it may be good

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ------> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide ------> Salt + Water

Answer 10

H20 would sound more intelligent and scientific.
