PURIFICATION OF WATER The usual laboratory method of obtaining pure water is distillation. This method of purification will remove any substance that has a boiling point heigher than that of water.
When water contains bicarbonates of Ca, Mg or Fe it is said to have carbonate hardness. When water contains calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride it is said to have noncarbonate hardness.
Another effective method of obtaining pure water is the use of organic deionizers. These are organic resins that exchange H ions for the cations and OH ions for the anions.

PREPARATION OF OXYGEN AND HYDROGEN Among the gases that occur in the atmosphere, oxygen is the most important to use.
OXYGEN Method of preparation • Heating potassium chlorate • Fractional distillation of liquid air • - Electrolysis of water
HYDROGEN Method of preparation • Using metal • Electrolysis of water • Passing steam
CARBON AND HYDROCARBONS Organic chemistry is the chemistry of the compounds of carbon.
The forms of carbon Fuel Lubrificant Electrical conductor Metallurgy Catting tools Special metal Alloys Charcoal Coke Anthracite graphite Diamond Amorphous CARBON Halogen Carbons Hydrogen Oxygen Carbon compounds Dyes Plastics Textile fibers Medicines Drugs
HYDROCARBONS Alkane They have single covalent bonds Series They have double covalent bonds Alkene They have triple covalent bonds Alkynes
HYDROCARBONS PROCESSING • Cracking • Alkylation • Polymerization • Hydrogenation • Dehydrogenation • Aromatization
