Question 251 Mark
In the following Questions, the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
  1. Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
  2. The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
  4. The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
Assertion: Medicine are easily absorbed by our body in colloidal form.
Reason: It is because they have large surface area and therefore, absorbed easily.
Answer
  1. Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

Explanation:

Colloidal medicines are competitively more effective as they are easily absorbed by the body. That is way many medicines are emulsion. Some major antibiotics like penicillin and streptomycin are injected in the body in the form of colloidal sol so that they would be absorbed by the body easily.

Question 471 Mark
To obtain a solid from its solution, which technique is better, evaporation or crystallisation?
Answer
Crystallization is a process that separates a pure solid in the form of its crystals from a solution.
Crystallization is better than evaporation because during
Evaporation:
  1. Some solids decompose or some, like sugar may get charred on heating to dryness.
  2. Some impurities may remain dissolved in the solution even after.
