One tablet of chlorine is efficient to chlorinate how many litres of water?
- A. 10 Litres
- B. 20 Litres
- C. 30 Litres
- D. 40 Litres
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chlorine tablets disinfect water by releasing hypochlorous acid to kill pathogens. Standard tablets (e.g., 1 mg chlorine) are designed to treat specific volumes based on concentration needs (typically 0.5-2 mg/L). Choice A (10 L) underestimates common tablet capacity, while C (30 L) and D (40 L) exceed typical single-tablet efficacy without specifying tablet strength. B (20 L) aligns with widely used chlorine tablets (e.g., NaDCC) for household water purification, achieving safe levels per WHO guidelines. Nurses educating communities on water safety must clarify dosage, ensuring effective pathogen control without overdose, making 20 L the correct, practical answer.
