In many careers there are lots of different people mixing up

different solutions. A chief needs the exact materials to complete his recipe. A doctor must know the medicines he can mix without causeing a problem for his patient. If they were ever to come across a mixture where a concentration was unknown they would use titration. Titration is an analytical technique for determining how much of certain substance (concentration) is present in a solution (such as a water sample) by measuring how much of another substance (of known concentration) must be added to produce a given reaction (offen a colour change in the solution). It is an important laboratory procedure used in performing chemical analyses.

If you were to walk down the hallway of a high school, you would

notice a lot of teenage girls caring bottled water. This water is cleaner and healthier then tap water. And to some may prefearably taste better. This water may go through a process of distalation for it to become clean. However recent studies say that you should not drink bottled water, that it would be safer to drink tap water. Because you don't know what kind of chemicals are in the water.

Another form of distallation is used in the oil industry. They use

a process called fractional distillation which separates different gases at different levels once it reaches it's boiling point. Each level can be used in our everyday life.
