Question

A sample of water containing some dissolved sugar and table salt is passed through an organic ion exchange resins. the resulting water will be

• A. Sweet
• B. Tasteless
• C. Bitter
• D. Salty

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Sweet

The explanation for the correct answer

(A) Sweet

• The resulting water will be sweet in taste because the organic ion exchange resin removes ionic impurities only.
• Since sugar on dissolution does not make ions so it won't be removed by the organic ion exchange resin.

The explanation for the incorrect answer

(B) Tasteless: It won't be tasteless since it contains sugar and salt

(C) Bitter: There is no sense of bitter taste present there.

(D) Salty: Since salt on dissolution gives sodium and chloride ions, it will be removed through the organic ion exchange resin. so there will be no sense of salt there.

Thus Option (A) Sweet is correct. A sample of water containing some dissolved sugar and table salt is passed through an organic ion exchange resin. the resulting water will be sweet.
