Which one of the following is not a property of solution:
  • A
    Solution is a homogeneous mixture
  • B
    Solution does not scatter light
  • C
    Path of light is visible in solution
  • D
    Solute particles do not settle down when left undisturbed
Answer
  1. Path of light is visible in solution

Explanation:

A solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture.

Solutions are homogeneous because the ratio of solute to solvent remains the same throughout the solution even if homogenized with multiple sources, and stable because.

The solute will not settle out after any period of time, and it cannot be removed by a filter or a centrifuge.

This type of mixture is very stable, i.e., its particles do not settle, or separate.

As a homogeneous mixture, a solution has one phase (liquid) although the solute and solvent can vary:

for example, salt water. In chemistry, a mixture is a substance containing two or more elements or compounds that are not covalently bound to each other and which retain their own chemical and physical identities; a substance which has two or more constituent physical substances.

This doesn't scatter light the path of light is visible in solution.

Which one is true solution:
  • A
    Sugar sol
  • B
    Blood
  • C
    Starch
  • D
    Ink
Answer
  1. Sugar sol

Explanation:

True Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in which substance dissolved (solute) in solvent has the particle size of less than 10 - 9 m or 1 nm.

Simple solution of sugar in water is an example of true solution. Particles of true solution cannot be filtered through filter paper and are not visible to naked eye.

Colloidal Solution is a heterogeneous mixture in which particle size of substance is intermediate of true solution and suspension i.e. between 1-1000 nm.

Smoke from a fire is example of colloidal system in which tiny particles of solid float in air. Just like true solutions, Colloidal particles are small enough and cannot be seen through naked eye.

They easily pass through filter paper.

But colloidal particles are big enough to be blocked by parchment paper or animal membrane.

blood, starch, ink : Colloidal Soln.

Which of the following process is used to obtain common salt from seawater:
  • A
    Distillation
  • B
    Evaporation
  • C
    Filtration
  • D
    Sublimation
Answer
  1. Evaporation

Explanation:

Seawater is trapped in large, shallow pools and allowed to stand there.

The sun’s heat evaporates the water slowly, and common salt is left behind.

This salt is further collected, purified, and packed for domestic use.

The concentrated brine precipitates the salt, which is then gathered by mechanical harvesting machines.

Any impurities that may be present in the brine are drained off and discarded before harvesting.

Preparation of salt from seawater involves evaporation in which water undergoes evaporation leaving behind salt.

Which of the following is a seperation technique to seperate potassium chloride and ammonium chloride:
  • A
    Distillation
  • B
    Evaporation
  • C
    Condensation
  • D
    Sublimation
Answer
  1. Sublimation

Explanation:

A mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride can be separated using the process of sublimation.

You must also note that both these substances are sublimable.

This technique is quite feasible in this case as the sublimable temperatures of ammonium and potassium chloride differ widely.

Between the two, ammonium chloride has lower sublimable temperature.

Therefore, it sublimes first followed by potassium chloride.

Which of the following best describes the methods to separate a mixture of two miscible liquids and two immiscible liquids​ respectively:
  • A
    Separating funnel and fractional distillation
  • B
    Fractional distillation and separating funnel
  • C
    Fractional distillation and chromatography
  • D
    None of these
Answer
  1. Fractional distillation and separating funnel

Explanation:

Miscible liquids can be separated using fractional distillation.

By this technique, components of the mixture can be separated based on the difference in boiling points. 

Separating funnel helps in separating two immiscible liquids.

In this, two layers are seen.

The denser liquid will be the bottom layer and the lighter liquid will be top layer.

On the other hand, chromatography is used in the separation of homogeneous mixtures, therefore, can not be used to separate immiscible liquid mixtures.

To separate ammonium chloride from common salt, we use:
  • A
    Filtration
  • B
    Sedimentation
  • C
    Sieving
  • D
    Sublimation
Answer
  1. Sublimation

Explanation:

Sublimation is a method in which a solid substance directly changes to the gas phase without changing into the liquid phase. 

Ammonium chloride is separated from common salt(sodium chloride) by sublimation.

This happens because ammonium chloride is volatile in nature whereas common salt is non-volatile in nature. 

Hence when a mixture of ammonium chloride and common salt is heated, ammonium chloride changes its state from solid to vapour.

The vapours of ammonium chloride are then condensed on a cold surface.

The common salt(sodium chloride) is left behind.
