Question

Boric Acid cannot be used as:

Options
  • A

    Antiseptic

  • B

    Eye Washer

  • C

    Soda Bottle Formula

  • D

    Glazing tiles and Ceramics

Explanation

Boric acid is versatile and finds application in several areas due to its antiseptic and cleansing properties. It is used as an antiseptic, an eye wash, and in the manufacturing of glazes for tiles and ceramics. However, it is not used in the formulation of soda bottles, which typically involves materials like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for plastic bottles. Therefore, the correct answer is that boric acid cannot be used as a 'Soda Bottle Formula'.

Boric acid is commonly used as an antiseptic for minor cuts and burns due to its antibacterial properties.

Boric acid is used in diluted form as an eye wash to cleanse and soothe irritated eyes.

Boric acid is not used in the formulation of soda bottles. This application is unrelated to the chemical properties of boric acid.
