- a, b and c
- a and b
- a and c

The process of separating a pure substance in the form of crystals from a hot saturated solution by cooling is known as
- evaporation
- crystallization
- distillation
- sublimation
Which of the following is true for a saturated solution?
- The solution changes colour.
- When more solute is added, it continues to dissolve in the solution.
- The solution starts to evaporate.
- When a sample is taken out and cooled, it forms small crystals rapidly.
- The temperature starts rising.
Which of the following is not a colloidal solution?

When pressure is removed from a saturated solution of common salt, it is observed that
- the temperature of water increases and the solution becomes supersaturated
- the salt sublimes and changes into gaseous state
- water solidifies to form ice salt crystals
- water rapidly evaporates, leaving behind dry salt
- water evaporates along with the salt, leaving a vacuum
Vinegar comes under which of the following categories of solution?
- Solid in liquid
- Gas in gas
- Liquid in liquid
- Gas in liquid
What is the solvent present in tincture of iodine?
- Iodine
- Water
- Alcohol
- Acetic acid
Why does a beam of light not scatter when it is passed through a true solution?
- Because the size of particles is equal to 1 m
- Because the size of particles is more than 1 nm
- Because the size of particles is less than 10–9 m
- Because the size of particles is equal to 1 nm
Which of the following is not a property of colloids?
- A colloid is actually heterogeneous.
- The size of particles in a colloid is bigger than that of those in a true solution, but smaller than that of those in a suspension.
- A colloid scatters a beam of light passing through it.
- The particles of a colloid cannot pass through a filter paper.
- Colloids are fairly stable.
Match the following:

- a - 2, b - 3, c - 1
- a - 2, b - 1, c - 3
- a - 1, b - 2, c - 3
