What did you learn from this lab about water and about process?
I learned that not only is water differentiated based on whether it is a solution, colloid, or suspension but it is also separated according to the different ions it has. Even though distilled water, tap water, and ocean water all are simply H2O, they all have different ions and react differently to certain substances. This lab taught me how different tap water can be from distilled water because tap water contains so many more chemicals and minerals. I learned that process is very important, because if the directions are not followed properly, the results could be completely different, changing your lab entirely. The step of thoroughly cleaning the wellplates is also very important because it could mix your samples up, ruining your tests.
