yep. This answer is an addition to the answer posted above. No, pure water does not have carbon in it, hence the chemichal formula H2O meaning 2Hydrogen and one Oxygen atom per molecule, nowhere in there is carbon metioned because it's not in there. Regular water from your sink probably does have carbon in it as it is the most common atom in the biological world, and biological things always have the most contact with water, is carbon hence the carbon-based thing you probably hear about because life on Earth is based off of the carbon atom so carbon is definetly in there somewhere.

Yes, it can be present in water, especially in hard water. Calcium carbonate may be present in small amounts as well as carbon dioxide gas may be present in small amounts dissolved in the water. None of these situations is a health concern.

no, the chemical formula for water is H2O. That means there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen. There is no carbon.
