The mineral content of water
We see an experiment to demonstrate how minerals dissolve in water. We also see which minerals and metals are found in different types of water. Water is poured into a flask and we see what happens when it starts to boil. As the water heats up, it starts to evaporate. The gas travels out of the flask and into a cold tube. The water vapour condenses and drops out as a liquid. The scientist is then able to look at the minerals contained in the sample of water and explain how minerals are dissolved in water as it flows through the ground.
