70% to passTesting boiler water for chloride content will indicate the amount of _______________.
Aphosphates present in the water
Btotal alkalinity in the water
Cmethyl orange that should be added
Ddissolved salts from sea contamination
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) dissolved salts from sea contamination. Testing boiler water for chloride content will indicate the amount of dissolved salts from sea contamination. This is because chloride ions are a key indicator of saltwater intrusion or contamination in the boiler water system. High chloride levels suggest that seawater or other dissolved salts have entered the boiler, which can lead to corrosion and other operational issues. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to measuring chloride content. Phosphates, total alkalinity, and methyl orange are not directly indicative of dissolved salts or seawater contamination in the boiler water.
