Question

Why is mineral water better than distilled water for drinking?

• A. Mineral water is cheap.
  
• B. Mineral water is easily available.
  
• C. Mineral water contains dissolved salts.
  
• D. Mineral water is colourful.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Mineral water contains dissolved salts.

Mineral water contains dissolved salts. Natural water contains dissolved substances, mainly inorganic salts (minerals) originating from the geological layers through which the water has passed. Distilled water is a type of purified water that has had both contaminants and minerals removed. Therefore, distilled water should contain no dissolved solids. So, the mineral water is better than the distilled water for drinking as minerals are good for health.
