Watch the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1421782837&x-yt-cl=84359240&v=bVzppWSIFU0

Explain how the processor works and devise your own idea to help alleviate the problems we face today with pollution. Make sure to explain the mechanics so that is something that could actually work. You do not need to go into the hard chemistry behind it just as long as the ideas can be done in the real world.

Assume you are an elite chemist with multitalented skills ranging from nuclear magnetic resonance to converting salicylic acid into aspirin. You have a bottle containing 500 ml of water with Mg2+ and Na+ ions mixed in, a 50 ml scoop of dirt, 75 ml of isopropyl alcohol, and microscopic parasites. Research how you would purify this mixture into pure water that does not contain parasites and does not conduct electricity. Write the steps to how you would achieve this in detail using water treatment techniques and why you are choosing that technique. Ex: reverse osmosis
