Question
Differentiate between a saturated and an unsaturated solution. How will you test whether a given solution is saturated or not?

Answer

A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at that temperature is called a saturated solution while a solution in which more quantity of solute can be dissolved without raising its temperature is called an unsaturated solution. To test the saturation or unsaturation of a solution, more solute may be added to the solution. If that solute gets dissolved in the solution then the solution will be unsaturated. To test whether a given solution is saturated or not, add some more solute to the solution and try to dissolve it by stirring. If solute does not dissolve in the given solution, then it will be a saturated solution.

How does sound from a sound producing body travel through air to reach our ears? Illustrate your answer with the help of a labelled diagram.
A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media $W, X, Y$ and $Z$ between the sound producing body and the man. The medium $X$ brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium $Z$ takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium $W$ in bringing sound to man is less than that of $X$ but more than that of $Z.$ The medium $Y,$ however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:
  1. Having no fixed shape and no fixed volume$?$
  2. Having a fixed volume but no fixed shape$?$
  3. Having the same composition as that on the moon$?$
  4. Having a fixed shape and a fixed volume$?$
Iron powder and sulphur powder were mixed together and divided into two parts $A$ and $B.$ When part $A$ was heated strongly over a burner, then a substance $C$ was formed. The part $B$ was, however, not heated at all.
