Question

How will you separate a mixture containing sand and sugar?

✓

Answer

Sugar is soluble in water whereas sand is insoluble in water. The difference in their solubility is used to separate them. The mixture of sand and sugar is dissolved in water, then it is filtered with the help of filter paper. Sand remains as residue on the filter paper while sugar solution is obtained as filtrate. The filtrate is then evaporated to get crystals of sugar.

A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give reason for your answer.
