Cleaning+the+Water+-+Group+6

1. poor bleach into beakers with the eye droper 2. add alum 3. stur with toungue depressures 4. strain water 5. use filter paper 6. filter through sand, gravel, and coal with filter paper and funnel 7.use filter paper through funnels 8. use alum, gravel, sand, and coal then repeat, also do this step more then once to get more of the particles out. We repeated this step three times and the last time we removed the coal. 1. when we added the bleach the water took it in and the water changed from green to light brown 2. when we added the alum the parts in the water all clumped together and sunk to the bottom and the water was still light brown but clearer 3. when we then sturred it with the depressure it was made a lot clearer as the little clumps that were still floating sunk to the bottom 4. then when we strained the water with the filter paper all of the clumps from the water were cought in the paper and it started looking clearer 5. then when we filtered the water through the coal, sand, and gravel and while the water went down it looked like it started to bubble, but that was when I could really start to smell the vinegar. 6. when we filterid it through the funnel with the filter paper and once again the water dripped out but i still think that it took out a little more of what was left in the water 7. lastly when we used the coal, gravel, sand, alum, and filter paper i think that that was the ending step but it still really smelled like vinegar i think that the filtering process brought out the smell of vinegar and inhansed the smell and that would be why it bubbled too. Also the fact that we might have added too much bleach. The water began too get a "darker" look when we did this step but it stopped when we removed the gravel afterwords..This was also when it became as clear as we could get it.
 * 1) ​ Write all of your names at the top. Connor, Deryk, Kylin A mber
 * 2) Write up the list of materials you used. filter paper, alum, sand, bleach, charcoal, funnel, tray, test tubes, pop sticks, scoopula, eye dropper,
 * 3) Write up the actual steps you performed to clean the water.
 * 1) Write up your observations. Be very specific as to what the water looked and smelled like after each step!
 * 1) Answer these questions:
 * 2) What were you not able to remove? we were not able to remove the smell of vinegar, and some dirt, but mostly the vinger smell. I think some of the syrup was still in there but it might have been dissolved with the bleach- causing the vinegar smell.
 * 3) How might you be able to remove it from the sample? I think that we could have removed it if we had a base to put in.
 * 4) How was your treatment process like that of the Sweetwater plant? all of our steps were taken from the sweetwater plant sheet that we did the day before. also the sweetwater plant cleans the water and thats what we did too.
 * 5) How was your treatment process different? the only difference in our treatment and theres was that ours was 1 smaller and 2 we didn't fully clean the water like they do.   No it was mostly the same except some steps were doubaled. We also did not have the same technology that they had.
