    Which of the following is the best scientific method to test presence of water in a liquid?

    A)  use of litmus paper

    B)  taste

    C)  smell

    D)  use of anhydrous copper sulphate.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\begin{matrix}    \text{CuS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{5}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\rightleftharpoons \text{CuS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{.3}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\rightleftharpoons \text{CuS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{.}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\rightleftharpoons \text{CuS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}  \\    Blue\,Pale\,blue\,Blusih\,white\,\,white  \\ \end{matrix}\] So interaction of water in a liquid with copper sulphate will produce blue colour so water can be detected.
