Question 11. Suspension is a mixture with non-uniform composition.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Saturated solution
  4.    Subsaturated solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Suspension is a heterogenous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the solvent.
The distribution of the solute particles is not uniform throughout the mixture. For example: muddy water
Question 12. Alloy is an example of  ________ mixture.
  1.    gas-gas
  2.    liquid-liquid
  3.    solid-solid
  4.    solid-liquid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> solid-solid
:
C
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. Alloy is a example of a solid-solid mixture as it is a mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal.
Question 13. Which type of a colloid is milk of magnesia? 
  1.    Sol
  2.    Aerosol
  3.    Emulsion
  4.    Foam
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sol
:
A
Colloids are classified according to the state of the dispersed medium and the dispersed phase. The dispersed phase of milk of magnesia is in the solid state and the dipersing medium is in the liquid state. As a result, milk of magnesia is classified as a sol.
Question 14. Which one of the following methods is used to separate cream from milk?
  1.    Crystallization
  2.    Evaporation
  3.    Centrifugation
  4.    Sedimentation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Centrifugation
:
C
Centrifugation is used to separate cream from milk. Centrifugation works on the principle of density difference. When amixture is spun rapidly, thedenser particles are forced to the bottom and the lighter particles stay on top.
Similarly, when milk is spun rapidly, the less dense fat globules which make cream rise to the top. These can be removed or 'skimmed' off the milk to make low fat milk called skimmed milk.
Question 15. Arrange the following in the decreaing order of their particle size:
suspension, true solution and colloids
  1.    Suspension > Colloidal > True solution
  2.    Suspension > True solution > Colloidal
  3.    True solution > Suspension > Colloidal 
  4.    True solution > Colloidal > Suspension
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Suspension > Colloidal > True solution
:
A
A true solution is a homogeneous mixture. So, the particles will be completely dissolved.
Suspension and colloidal solutions are heterogeneous mixtures. The particles in colloidal solutions are relatively smaller than suspensions. However, the particles of a suspension can be seen with the naked eye, as opposed to a colloid.
Hence, the size of particles in suspension, true solution and colloidal solution varies in the order: Suspension > Colloid> True solution.
Question 16. A student purchases common salt from the market which is contaminated with ammonium chloride (NH4Cl ). Identify the technique that he should adopt to obtain pure NaCl.
  1.    Distillation
  2.    Crystallisation
  3.    Sublimation
  4.    Sedimentation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sublimation
:
C
Ammonium chloride is a substance which directly converts to vapour upon heating, without going through the liquid state. This process is called sublimation. The vapours can be collected and condensed into a separate flask. On the other hand, NaCl does not get vaporised at thattemperature and can beseparated easily.
Question 17. The properties of a compound are the same as that of its constituent elements.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Centrifugation
  4.    Sedimentation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements, chemically combined together in a fixed proportion. The properties of a compound are different from those of its constituent elements.
For example, let us consider water (H2O). Water is a compound with hydrogen and oxygen as constituent elements. Oxygen is required for combustion, hydrogen is combustible while water extinguishes fire. Oxygen and hydrogen are gases at room temperature while water is a liquid. Clearly, the properties of water are completely different from those of oxygen and hydrogen.
Question 18. A solution contains 30 mL of ethyl alcohol mixed with 100 mL of water. What is the concentration of the solution in terms of volume by volume percentage?
  1.    23.00 %
  2.    23.07 %
  3.    22.00%
  4.    25.66 %
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 23.07 %
:
B
Volume of solute (ethyl alcohol) = 30 mL
Volume of solvent (water) = 100 mL
Total volume of solution = 30 + 100 = 130 mL
Volume by volume % = Volume of soluteVolume of solution×100
=30130×100=23.07%
Question 19. Which one of the following is a pure substance?
  1.    Soft drink
  2.    Salt water
  3.    Muddy water
  4.    Sugar crystals
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Sugar crystals
:
D
A pure substance consists of only a single type of particle - atoms or molecules. Pure substances are classified as elements and compounds.
Sugar is a pure substance as it is made up of only one kind of molecule which is the sugar molecule (C12H22O11).
The other options salt water, muddy water, and soft drink are not pure substances because these are mixtures andcontains more than onetype of particles.
Question 20. To make a saturated solution, 15 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 85 g of water at 293 K. Calculate the concentration in terms of mass by mass percentage at this temperature.
  1.    15%
  2.    24%
  3.    20%
  4.    21%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 15%
:
A
Mass of the solute (sodium chloride) = 15 g
Mass of the solvent (water) = 85 g
Mass of the solution = Mass of the solute + Mass of the solvent
= 15 + 85 = 100 g
Concentration (mass by mass percentage) = mass of solutemass of solution×100
= 15100×100 = 15%
