Think about how acids and bases would affect the water quality in the two lakes.Which set of pH data would you expect to see based on your observations?
Compare the appearance and pH of the unfiltered and filtered polluted water. What conclusion can be made based on these observations?
The filtered water is clearer than the unfiltered water, which appears cloudy and yellowish. However, the pH readings for both samples remain at levels that are unsafe for living organisms. This indicates that while filtration improved the water's appearance, it did not necessarily make the water safe or clean chemically. Therefore, the conclusion is that the quality of water cannot be determined by appearance alone.
