Explanation:
The bicarbonate alkalinities present in water combie with alum when alum is added to muddy water. It results in the formation of a precipitate and deposits at the bottom of water.
As a result, most of the impurity gets deposited at the bottom of water and we get clean water.
Therefore, we can conclude that alum is added to a beaker of muddy water so that impurities present in the water can be removed to an extent.
