    Question

    To check the presence of adulterated sugar solution in honey, a cotton wick dipped in the sample is ignited with a match stick. Adulteration is confirmed if:

    A it burns with a violet coloured flame Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B it burns smoothly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C it burns with a green coloured flame Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D it burns with a crackling sound Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Take a cotton wick dipped in a pure honey and light with a match stick. Pure honey will burn. If adulterated, the presence of water will not allow the honey to burn if it does; it will produce a cracking sound.
