if i freeze tap water in fridge does it turn into distilled water?

Answer 1

When water freezes the water molecules do push out anything that is not water, but that only works until it runs into another ice crystal doing the same thing. that is why ice cubes are usually clear around the edges and fuzzy in the middle. Also the ice crystal usually needs to start on something, usually a piece of dust.

You can do a neat experiment to show this. Take one of those bottles of pure water they sell and put in the freezer. Usually the water is pure enough that it will still be water and not freeze, but pour it into a glass and you will have instant slush. Only part of it freezes because the act of freezing gives off heat that keeps the surrounding water from freezing.

I saw a tv spot once of an Island off the Maine coast that had no fresh water. So they dug a big pit with a drain out the bottom and sprayed salt water into the air over the pit during the coldest part of the winter. The ice pushed out the salt so the part that was still water was saltier than the sea water, and ran out the drain.

Before it warmed up again they shut off the drain and when the summer came they had a pond of fairly fresh water.

You could run the experiment yourself by putting a very large canister of colored salty water in the freezer and draining the excess when it was about half frozen, then let it melt and do it again. You will eventually have fairly pale color but you lose most of it and it never gets completely clear.

So yes your idea is true sort of but it is not very efficient.

the version between faucet water and bottled is which you pay for what you get. specific faucet is many times secure whilst dealt with via the city purification structures, yet there keeps to be the, ugh, style. Bottled takes all of the undesirable tastes out yet additionally leaves minute products of residue and a flat style. the superb way is to apply a distilled approach then in superb condition an aerator to the faucet to get lower back style.
