Ques. 1NEET 2013 (Karnataka)

Which one of the following statements is not true?

  1. Clean water would have a BOD value of 5 ppm.
  2. Fluoride deficiency in drinking water is harmful. Soluble fluoride is often used to bring its concentration up to 1 ppm.
  3. When the pH of rain water is higher than 6.5, it is called acid rain.
  4. Dissolved Oxygen (DO) in cold water can reach a concentration up to 10 ppm.

Answer

(3) When the pH of rain water is higher than 6.5, it is called acid rain.

Solution

As per NCERT, normally rain water has a pH of 5.6 due to dissolved CO2; when the pH of rain water drops below 5.6, it is called acid rain.

Statement (3) is not true.

Clean water has a BOD of less than 5 ppm, soluble fluoride is added to bring fluoride up to 1 ppm, and dissolved oxygen in cold water can reach about 10 ppm.

Answer: (3)
