HOw do you turn salt water into fresh water with only using a beaker and a science bunsen burner and gauze and foil and cling wrap

When you boil the saltwater in the bunsen burner the steam will be fresh water... You can boil all of the fresh water out of the beaker until there is nothing but salt remaining in the bottom of it... You just need to figure out a way to catch the steam vapor- probably with the gauze and tin foil and transfer it into a puddle in the cling wrap....

sounds such as you waited somewhat too long. indexed right here are some guidelines, yet its YOUR homework so which you do the examine a million) electrical energy: you are able to catch or get rid of the salt (na and cl) ions and you're left with hassle-free water 2) warmth: you may get rid of the WATER from the salt with warmth (you artwork it out) 3) opposite Osmosis: enormous be conscious yet difficulty-free application. Like getting water out of dirt by forcing it by cheesecloth. 4) Purification with a Catalyst: turn the salt into some thing else that settles to the backside of the bowl.. the precise is only water. ok>. get to artwork you presently have much less then 4 days. .

works like a distillery (moonshining)
boil the water in a beaker
tent the foil over it to cause condsation to run down
filter thru the gauze
and catch it on the cling wrap (laided over a bowl or something)

Shiners would use coiled copper to trap the sediment and keep the temp. correct and not allow "backwash" into the cooker. However you do not have that option.

evaporation (boiling the salt water... steam) and condensation (of the steam, which should not contain salt). the remaining liquid/solid in the beaker would be the salts.
