Question

Explain the term mineral water

Answer 1

Mineral water:

• A calculated quantity of mineral salts is added to water to make it fit for drinking, called mineral water.
• Drinking water sold in bottles is labelled as mineral water.
• Chemically pure water is not fit for drinking. It corrodes the digestive organs.
• Hence, after obtaining pure water by the distillation of river water or water from other sources, a calculated quantity of minerals comprising sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, etc. is added to it before packing.
