Multiple choice chemistry separation of substances substances and mixtures formation of mixtures and types of mixtures based on states types of mixtures

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water, it is:

  1. a homogeneous solid in liquid mixture

  2. a heterogeneous liquid in liquid mixture

  3. a homogeneous liquid in liquid mixture

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Vinegar is homogenous solution because it is a completely uniform solution of liquid in liquid type of mixture (acetic acid in water)

Unlike gases, can all liquids in liquid mixtures form solutions.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

No, not all liquids in liquids mixture form solutions

we know that "like dissolve like", so, the liquids which have same polarity only form solutions.
for example: water and oil have different polarity and hence they do not form solution.

Match the column I with column II and select the correct option from the codes given :


Column I                       Column II

P. Chalk-water mixture     (i) A gaseous mixture
Q. Glucose solution          (ii) A solid-gas mixture
R. Fizzy drink                    (iii) A homogeneous solid-liquid mixture
S. Smoke                          (iv) A solid-liquid mixture
T. Air                                 (v) A gas-liquid mixture

  1. P-(iii), Q-(iv), R-(v), S-(i), T-(ii)

  2. P- (v), Q- (iii), R- (iv), S- (ii), T-(i)

  3. P-(ii), Q-(i), R-(iv), S- (v), T- (iii)

  4. P-( iv), Q- (iii), R- (v), S-(ii), T-(i)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Chalk-water mixture- A heterogeneous solid-liquid mixture

Glucose solution- A homogeneous solid-liquid mixture

Fizzy drink- A gas-liquid mixture

Smoke - A solid-gas mixture

Air - A gaseous mixture

Hence the correct option is D.

Which pair is a miscible liquid mixture?

  1. Ethylalcohol and water

  2. Mercury and alcohol

  3. Benzene and water

  4. Carbondisulphide and water
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Water is polar and has hydrogen bonding. Since, ethyl alcohol has oxygen atom it also undergoes hydrogen bonding when mixed with water. Also, ethyl alcohol is polar due to high electro-negativity of $O$, due to which it mixes with water. Hence, ethyl alcohol and water are a pair of miscible liquid mixture.

A salt is made by adding an excess of an insoluble metal oxide to an acid. How is the excess metal oxide removed from the mixture?

  1. chromatography

  2. crystallisation

  3. distillation

  4. filtration
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
$\text{Filtration is defined as the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid.}$$\text{ So it can be used to remove metal oxide from the mixture.}$

State True or False.
A mixture can not be represented by a chemical formula.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In chemistry, a mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances on which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions, and colloids.

Example of  a 'solid in liquid' mixture is :

  1. oil in water

  2. muddy water

  3. smoke

  4. all of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

 Phases of matter   Name of mixture  Examples
 Liquid - liquid  Emulsion  Oil in water
 Solid - liquid  Suspension  Muddy water
 Gas - liquid  Aerosol  Fizzy drinks
 gas - solid  Smoke  Smog

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances, where these substances are not bonded (or joined) to each other and no chemical reaction occurs between the substances.
