Boiling water removes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Boiling water removes:
A. Temporary hardness
B. Permanent hardness
C. All dissolved salts
D. Microorganisms only
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Boiling precipitates Ca/Mg bicarbonates as carbonates, removing temporary hardness. It does not remove permanent hardness (sulfates/chlorides). It kills microbes but does not remove dissolved salts.

Question #1
Which indicator is most suitable for the titration of a weak acid with a strong base?
A. Phenolphthalein
B. Methyl red
C. Methyl orange
D. Litmus

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In the titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the equivalence point occurs in the basic region (pH > 7) due to the hydrolysis of the conjugate base formed. Phenolphthalein changes color in the pH range of 8.2 to 10.0, making it the most suitable indicator for detecting this basic equivalence point.

Question #2
Ethene undergoes which type of reaction with bromine water?
A. Oxidation
B. Substitution
C. Dehydration
D. Addition

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ethene (C₂H₄) adds Br₂ across the double bond to form 1,2-dibromoethane. Bromine water decolorizes, a test for unsaturation. Alkanes undergo substitution.

Question #3
The main gas present in CNG is:
A. Butane
B. Methane
C. Propane
D. Ethane

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is primarily methane (CH₄). It is stored at high pressure (200-250 bar). It is used as a vehicular fuel and for cooking. LPG is primarily propane and butane. CNG is cleaner, produces less CO₂ per unit energy, and is safer in leaks as methane is lighter than air. It has high octane rating.
