🔍 Key Concepts

• Condensation vs. seawater – how fresh water forms on surfaces in a raft or canopy • How salt can be accidentally introduced when collecting condensation • Whether pure condensation needs purification or filtering before drinking

💭 Think About

• Think about what condensation actually is: has it come from seawater directly, or has it evaporated and re‑formed as fresh water? • Which option would help keep salt out of your drinking water, and which options might unnecessarily change or contaminate already fresh condensation? • Ask yourself: is there any reason to disinfect or strain water that has just condensed on a clean surface?

✅ Before You Answer

• Consider which choice focuses on preventing salt contamination during collection. • Check whether chlorine tablets are normally required for freshly condensed water, or more for stored/uncertain water sources. • Decide if straining through cloth is meant to remove salt (dissolved) or only particles (solid) – and whether condensation contains either.
