In a Chemistry test I took recently, there is a question on the procedures of water purification.
The question goes like this: What is added to water to remove smell, shit, etc
So reef-minded me wrote Activated Carbon as the answer
But my Chem teacher insisted that this is a wrong answer and it should be Activated Charcoal
The reason she gave is that carbon can be in the form of diamonds, pencil lead, etc
So what do you guys think? Am I correct in this answer? Please state your views
