If I were to describe an experiment I conducted with a distinct bottled water, can a refer to that water as 'the water' ?

 

[Yankee]

For example. And what is a "distinct bottle of water"?

 

[middleage S]

I filled pure water inside the bottle to check its freezing point. And I want to know whether I could call it as 'the water' not 'water'.

Give us the exact sentence you want to use.

 

[emsr2d2]

I filled pure water inside the bottle ...

You didn't fill water inside the bottle. You filled the bottle with pure water.

 

[Rover_KE]

I've asked you before what you mean by 'pure water' and you didn't answer. Is it purified water, distilled water, spring water or what?

 

[middleage S]

I used pure water attained from the water purifier.

And the sentence that I want to use is 'After the bottle was filled with pure water, the pure water was cooled below -5 degrees Celcius.'

 

[Tarheel]

It looks good to me.

 

[GoesStation]

I used pure water [STRIKE]attained[/STRIKE] from [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] a water purifier.

You should call that purified water. If this is an academic paper, the first time you mention it, you should include a footnote stating exactly how the water is purified.

 

[middleage S]

Then no article is used for 'purified water' ?

 

[jutfrank]

'After the bottle was filled with pure water, the pure water was cooled below -5 degrees Celcius.'

The article the is appropriate in this sentence, yes.

It the US, we'd usually call it distilled water, and it can have a, the, or no article, depending on the sentence.

You can only call it distilled water If it's been purified by distillation. There are lots of other ways to purify water.

Of course. I don't care how it was purified. I have no dog in this fight. The word distinct just looked like a spellcheck error. And the closest word to it that I could think of that made sense was distilled.

So I supposed that was what Middleage meant. Middleage can correct me if I misunderstood.
