    Public tap water is not desirable when carrying out experiments in the laboratory.

    The chemical definition of water is a compound made up of two atoms of hydrogen to 1 atom of oxygen. Any violation simply desist from the true meaning of water.

    Why are tap water not used:

    They contain other dissolved ions like chlorine which have been added in their treatment. This alters the fundamental molecules that is expected to be seen in water. Water of this nature can affect experimental results seriously. Tap water can become a mixture instead of a simple compound. A mixture is a combination of several compounds. Such water will have a varied composition and make simplification of experiments very difficult.
