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.

What does light energy do to water and carbon dioxide?

Light has little or no effect on water and carbon dioxide, unless a catalyst such as chlorophyll is present. In that case, the light energy is absorbed and the water and carbon dioxide are converted to glucose and water. This is photosynthesis.


What substance used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide?

Test for Carbon Dioxide: Bubble unknown gas in lime water. Limewater should go milky if Carbon dioxide is present. Test for water: Add anhydrous copper sulphate crystals (white in colour) to unknown solution. If solution goes a brilliant light blue colour, water is present as the hydrous copper sulphate crystals were formed. Did this help?

What will happen if activated carbon mixed with water?

When activated carbon is mixed with water, the carbon will adsorb impurities and contaminants present in the water. This can help to remove pollutants such as chemicals, odors, and organic compounds, making the water cleaner and safer to drink. Be sure to properly filter out the carbon before consuming the water.
