Distillation by boiling the water and then condensing the steam back into water will leave many contaminants behind.

Why does water get cold when you mix potassium nitrate?
Dissolution need the so-called heat of solution; this is extracted from the water which become colder.
What is the advantage of using hollow cylinder ice cube?
I am not so sure but, I think this can help: It has a bigger surface area and the water freezes faster. It cools down the drink faster and melts to drinkable water faster That's all I know, , Unknown girl
What is the distillation of water and ink useful for?
Not a lot. But distillation is used to separate the components of a mixture. A scenario where distillation of urine for example is useful is if you are stranded in a desert. You can find a way to distill your urine so that the water in it evaporates and condenses so that you have pure drinkable water... Distillation of ink however is not very useful unless you wanted to identify different parts of ink
What is a necessary condition for extraction of a substance from an aqueous solution?
There must exist a solvent for the substance to be extracted in which this substance's solubility is greater than the substance's solubility in water, and the solvent also must not be miscible in water, so that an interface between the solvent and water will be formed in a mixture of the two.
What are the method of water purification?
There are various methods of water purification and filtration, some more effective at removing certain types of contaminants than others.1. Ionizers2. Iron Filters3. Reverse Osmosis (ro)4. Distillation5. Ultraviolet Water PurifiersNone of the methods of water purification and filtration can remove all contaminants from drinking water.To have a clearer understanding as to which household water filter to buy, you could get a copy of your local water report. This will tell you what contaminants your water supply have. Then you can get the household water filter that best removes those contaminants.Overall, a water distillation system removes the widest range of contaminants. However as stated before, there is a potential health risk in using this method.Furthermore, most household distillers are point of use and used predominantly in the kitchen. Therefore, they don't provide filtered water to the entire house.Conversely, a whole house water filtration system is a good option for providing safe, clean water throughout your home - your shower, dishwasher, washing machine, faucets etc.Some people use a water distiller or point of use reverse osmosis filter to provide drinking water and a whole house filter for other purposes.Another consideration as to which of the methods of water purification to choose is affordability. House water filters are offered in various price ranges, so what you can afford may ultimately decide which one you buy.Even if you can only afford to get a cheap water filter, it is certainly better than having no filter at all.
How did Hurricane Katrina affect water supply?
Hurricane Katrina affected the water supply because it became contaminated by flooding water. The water was not drinkable because of the toxins and environmental contaminants that were mixed with it, along with the seawater.
Why is water monitoring important?
If the world didn't have water monitoring all the drinkable water would no longer be drinkable from the pollution and then all the human race would die that's why water monitoring is so important and such a big issue.
What is the difference between H2O2 and H2O?
The difference between H2O2 and H2O is, H2O is water and is drinkable but H2O2 has a second atom of Oxygen so it is no longer Water or drinkable, because it was chemically changed to Hydrogen Peroxide.
Where is the largest amount of drinkable water found?
in frozen glaciers and ice caps. i think so.... ._.

Can humidity help you not dehydrate?
I think that humidity can maybe help you but... No, I don't think so cuz its not drinkable water so, NO! And that was a question for my English HMK, hope it's useful! :)
Why is the SiO2 extracted with water three times as opposed to only once?
SiO2 is extracted with water three times as opposed to only once because of water it may contain. It is insoluble in water, so rinsing three times separates it releases any water it may have leaving you only with SiO2, or sand.
What makes the Rain Forest in Brazil so valuable?
