    Question

    Bleaching powder is NOT used for:

    A.

    oxidising chemicals

    B.

    preparing bread

    C.

    bleaching cotton

    D.

    disinfecting water

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (B) preparing bread.

    Explanation:
    Bleaching powder (Ca(OCl)₂) is a chemical compound commonly used for various purposes, but it is not used in preparing bread.
    Here’s how it’s used in other applications:
    • Oxidising chemicals: Bleaching powder is a strong oxidizing agent, so it can be used for this purpose.
    • Bleaching cotton: It is used in the textile industry for bleaching cotton and other fabrics.
    • Disinfecting water: Bleaching powder is widely used to disinfect drinking water by killing bacteria and harmful microorganisms.
    However, bleaching powder is not used in preparing bread as it is not a food-grade substance and is not suitable for consumption.
