ies for which you use water during a day.
Water is an important natural resource required by all living beings. It is essential for
life for humans, animals and plants alike.
Water is essential for sustenance of life on the earth. It is the second loss basic
requirement we have after air. Water is found on the earth’s surface, above it as well
as below it.
OCCURRENCE OF WATER
Water covers about 70 per cent of the earth's surface. It occurs in both free and Fig. 4.4: Water

for example, when we add some sugar to a glass of water and mix it well, then we get a uniform mixture
known as sugar solution. Here, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. - =
some more examples to identify solute and solvent in a solution are given below.
« Asolution of common salt and water in which common salt is solute and water is solvent.
+ A solution of sodium carbonate and water in which sodium carbonate in solute and water is
solvent.
+ Asolution of copper sulphate and water in which copper sulphate is solute and water is solvent.
It is noticeable that water always acts as a solvent and often termed as universal solvent.
substances like salt and sugar dissolve readily in water and are said to be soluble in water. Substances like
sand and wood that do not dissolve in water are said to be insoluble in water. Only soluble substances
can form a solution. However, there are certain conditions on which the formation ofa solution depends.
They are as follows.
«Stirring: Stirring the solution increases the solubility of the solute in the solvent.
«Particle size of the solute: If the particle size ofthe solute is ee
small, the rate of formation of a solution is faster. However, if |The ability of a solute to Ssolve:

takes time.
* Temperature: Mostly the solubility of solids and liquids in water increases with increase in
temperature. But solubility of gases in water decreases with increase in temperature.
Let's perform some activities to understand the conditions affecting the formation of a solution.
—— ~——:Ss
Aim: To observe the effect of stirring on the formation of 2 solution
Materials required: 2 beakers, some water, some sugar, @ spoon
Procedure:
+ Take two beakers and label them a Be a B.
Pour equal amount of water in each beaker.
Add cad aan of sugar each in both the beakers.
Do not stir the contents of beaker A:
Stir the contents of beaker B.Observation: You will observe that the sugar settles down at the bottom of beaker A while it dissolves jn
water in beaker B,
Conclusion: This shows that on stirring the solution, solubility of the solute increases.
| Activity 4.8]
Aim: To observe the effect of size of solute particles on the formation of a solution
Materials required: 2 beakers, some water, a lump of common salt, some free-flowing common salt, 3
spoon
Procedure
+ Take two beakers and label them as A and B.
+ Pour equal amount of water in each beaker.
Now put a lump of common salt in beaker A and a teaspoon of free-flowing common salt in
beaker B. You can also use sugar cubes and powdered sugar.
+ Now stir both the solutions one by one and notice the time taken by each of the solutes to dissolve,
Observation: You will observe that the salt in beaker A takes a longer time to dissolve as compared to the
salt in beaker B,
Conclusion: This proves that smaller the particle size of solute, faster the solution will be formed,
as
: To observe the effect of increase in temperature on the formation of a solution
Materials required: Beaker, sugar, spoon, burner
Procedure
+ Take beaker 8 from the previous activity.
+ Now add some sugar to it and stir the solution.
+ Continue adding the sugar till no more of it can be dissolved in the solution.
+ Now heat this beaker.
+ Again add a teaspoon of sugar to it.
Observation: You will observe that more sugar can be dissolved in the beaker on heating the solution.
Conclusion: This shows that the solubility of a solute increases on increasing the temperature.
Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions
In Activity 4.9, we have observed that if we continue adding
sugar to the solution, a stage is soon reached when no more of
it can be added. However, if we increase the temperature of the
solution, more solute can be added to it. Thus, on the basis of the
ability of solutions to dissolve more solute we can divide them
into three types—saturated solution, unsaturated solution and
Siac arc
supersaturated solution.solution is said to be saturated when it cannot dissolve any more of the solute at a particular temperature.
‘solution is said to be unsaturated when it can dissolve more of the solute at a particular temperature.
solution is said to be supersaturated when it contains more solute than can be dissolved in the solvent
under normal conditions.
Let’s perform Activity 4.10 to prepare a saturated solution of salt and water.
Fenioealy
Aim: To prepare a saturated solution of salt and water
Materials required: A beaker, some water, a spoon, some salt
Procedure
«Take some water in a beaker.
+ Add a teaspoon of salt to it and stir it.
+ Continue adding salt till no more salt can be dissolved in it.
Observation: After a point salt stops dissolving in water.
Conclusion: The solution, so obtained, in which no more salt can be dissolved at this particular temperature
isa saturated salt solution.
The formation of a solution is a physical change. Molecules of the solute and the solvent remain the same
ina solution. It is easy to get back the solute and the solvent in their original form from the solution. Let’s
perform Activity 4.11 to observe how salt can be separated from a salt solution.
Aim: To separate salt from salt solution by evaporating till the water dries
Materials required: A beaker, some water, a spoon, some salt, an evaporating dish, a burner
Procedure
+ Take some water in a beaker and add two teaspoons of salt to it.
+ Stir the contents of the beaker. You will get a salt solution.
+ Transfer this salt solution to an evaporating dish.
+ Now heat the dish over the flame of a burner.
+ Observe what happens after 15-20 minutes.
Observation: You will observe that [Link]-time water starts boiling and turning into water vapour
ifthe vapour coming out of the solution are allowed to condense, then we can obtain the solvent. After
some more time, a stage will come when no more water is left in the evaporating dish and only salt is
Present at the bottom of the beaker. 4
Conclusion: This way, salt (solute) can be separated from salt solution.
From Activity 4.11, we can conclude that a solvent can be obtained from a solution by the process of
distillation, while a solute can be obtained by ‘evaporating the solution till it drie
aPOTABLE WATER
Water that is fit for consumption is called potable water. It should have the following characteristics,
* Itshould be colourless, odourless and transparent.
* Itshould have sufficient amount of dissolved salts and oxygen in it.
* Itshould be free from harmful chemicals and microorganisms.
Generally, freshwater and groundwater are fit for drinking. But with ‘Waterborne DSEe
the growth in population and industrialization, most of the freshwater Infectious diseases which spread
resources have become contaminated with pollutants. Consumption | primarily through contaminated
of polluted water can have adverse effects on our health and we may water are called waterborne
become susceptible to waterborne diseases. diseases.
Diseases Caused by Contaminated Water or Waterborne Diseases
Water present in rivers, lakes, etc. should not be used for consumption directly as it may be contaminated
with industrial and agricultural wastes, and human and animal faeces which contain pathogens,
Consumption of contaminated water may lead to various waterborne diseases such as typhoid, jaundice,
dysentery, diarrhoea, gastroenteritis and cholera.
Typhoid is a waterborne disease caused by bacteria. It affects the intestine leading to high fever which
lasts for a few days.
Jaundice is caused by the Hepatitis A virus. It affects the liver of a person. The patients also suffer from
nausea, stomach pain and weight loss thus resulting in liver disorders.
Dysentery is caused by amoeba or bacteria, There is secretion of mucus during the bowel movement as
these organisms infect the wall of the intestine. The patients suffer from stomach pain. Anal bleeding may
also occur in severe cases.
Diarrhoea refers to a state of frequent, loose or liquid stools. During diarrhoea, water and large amount
of essential salts and nutrients are lost from the body. This makes a person suffering from diarrhoea very
weak and tired.
Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, involving both the stomach and the small
intestine. Certain viruses, bacteria, their toxins or parasites can cause the infection. It results in acute
diarrhoea along with vomiting.
Cholera is an infection in the small intestine caused by a bacterium. The main symptoms are excessive,
watery diarrhoea and vomiting.
The availability of fresh and clean drinking water is necessary to reduce the spread of waterborne diseases
Water can be purified by killing germs and removing other impurities.
PURIFICATION OF WATER : y

we can also purify water at home. Some common!Sedimentation and Decantation
tation is a proce: i
aS are oe which heavier insoluble particles of a solution settle down. Itis the first
sept Ba eee su Plants. Water from rivers or lakes is allowed to flow into basins,
ace fanks and stand for some time, Here suspended solids settle at the bottom
and clear water is obtained at the top. The clear water i
a 5 at the top is decanted. Thi i
the liquid without disturbing the sediment is known as decantation an
Loading
The pieces used to. pees the rate of sedimentation by addition of chemicals is called loading. Potash
alum is added to water in the loading tank and is allowed to stand for some time. This speeds up the
rate of sedimentation thus making the suspended particles heavier which eventually settle down at the
bottom of the tank.
Filtration
Filtration is the process of separating a solid from a liquid by passing the mixture through a filter bed or
a filter paper.
During the process of filtration at a small scale, the impure water is passed through a filter paper. The pore
size of filter paper is smaller than the size of mud particles. In this way, particulate impurities remain on
the filter paper and only water passes through it. The liquid that passes through the filter paper is called
filtrate while the particulate impurities which remain on the filter paper are called residue.
Inwater treatment plants, water from the sedimentation tank is filtered by passing it through filter bed.
Afilter bed consists of different layers of sand, gravel and charcoal.
Chlorination :
The process of adding chlorine to water is called chlorination.
Filtered water is disinfected by adding chlorine to kill any
remaining harmful bacteria. In water supply units of municipal
corporation, the filtered water is sterilised by adding chlorine to
kill harmful organisms. Chlorinated water is stored in a tank for
further supply.

Fig. 4.8: Purification of water n a water treatment plantBoiling
Boiling is the easiest and the most recommended purification technique. Boiling water for 5~10 minutes
kills most types of disease-causing microorganisms. This method is feasible only at a small scale and can
be used in our homes. Boiling can also be used as a stage prior to other methods for extra precaution,
Aeration
Aeration helps to kill harmful microorganisms present in water. In this method, air under pressure is
blown into filtered water to purify the water.
Ozonisation
These days ozone is used to sterilize water and this process is called ozonisation.
Water Purifiers and RO System
The water purifiers used nowadays for purifying water at
home provide three stage purification. In the first stage,
water is filtered through a candle filter. In the second
stage, the filtered water is passed through activated
charcoal which absorbs impurities. In the third and final
stage, water's irradiated with ultraviolet radiation which
Kills the germs present in it
Reverse osmosis is a method of water purification
in which water is forced out of the waste through a
semipermeable membrane by applying pressure. A lot
of impure water is left during the process which can
be used for other activities. Bottled drinking water is
prepared using this technique.
Distillation
Distilled water is tasteless as it does not
contain any dissolved salts and minerals. task
Distilled water is obtained by evaporation of
water followed by condensation of vapour.
This process of obtaining pure water is
known as distillation.
Distilled wateris used for preparing solutions
for medicinal purposes and in laboratories.
It is also used in batteries of inverters and
cars.

Taps should not be left running while brushing teeth, bathing or washing clothes.
Farmers should use better methods of irrigation like drip irrigation (in which water is supplied to
plants drop by drop) to save water.
Dams and reservoirs should be constructet
Water in industries should be recycled and reused to the maximum possi
Trees should be planted as they help in causing rainfall.
Rainwater harvesting should be practised. It is done by
allowing rainwater falling on roofs of buildings to flow
into a deep trench in the ground. ;
We should emphasise on collecting the rainwater in aba
drums and buckets also. The water collected is just rich water inlet
in salt and not really dirty. So, it can be used for mopping

WATER POLLUTION
The contamination of water with unwanted substances that cause harmful effects in living and non-living
things is called water pollution. Unwanted substances alter the properties of water and make it unfit for
drinking, bathing and agricultural use.
‘Causes of Water Pollution
Following are some main causes of water pollution.
* Discharge of domestic sewage and dumping of a garbage
___ into water bodies pollutes them.
@ Discharge of agricultural waste, which include fertilisers,
insecticides and pesticides containing poisonous pollutants
such as cyanide and mercury pollute water.
= Discharge of industrial waste like plastic, paints, drugs, paper,
textile dyes, rubber and leather from various industries into ===
the nearby water bodies pollute water.
Defecation by human beings and animals in or near water bodies also pollutes water.
il spill from oil tankers and leakage of oil during drilling and shipping operations pollute water. A
layer of ol is formed on the surface of the water which cuts off the supply of oxygen for organisms
living in the water body thereby causing their death.
