Multiple choice chemistry separation of substances mixtures: examples and properties types of solutions all about mixtures

The components retain their individual properties in:

  1. Solutions

  2. Mixtures

  3. Compounds

  4. Solvents
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

1) Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
2)Compound a substance formed by chemical union of two or more elements or ingredients in definite proportion by weight
3) solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically different liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution.

Hence only mixtures are the one in which the individual properties of the components are retained

Identify the mixture from the following:

  1. Oxygen

  2. Carbon dioxide

  3. Hydrogen

  4. Air
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The mixture consists of constituents in indefinite proportion. It may change over time. Air has 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and 1% other constituents such as $CO _2$, water vapour etc. About 100 years ago the proportion of $CO _2$ in the air was about 0.029% and now it is 0.035%. Thus we see that it's proportion has changed.

Which of the following is not a property of a mixture?

  1. Mixtures have definite set of properties

  2. Components in mixture retain their original properties

  3. The parts of mixture can be separated by physical means

  4. Mixtures do not have a sharp melting or boiling point
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The important point regarding mixture is that it always retain the original property of its components, so mixture dont have any definite set of properties.

Which of the following is an example of mixture in which various constituents are mixed uniformly?

  1. Solution of salt in water

  2. Air

  3. Alloy

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Solution of salt in water, air, alloy are all examples of homogeneous mixture. They are formed by mixing different elements in to form a mixture which is in single state. Hence they are also called as homogeneous mixture.

What is a mixture?

  1. Substance with two or more different particles

  2. Substance that is insoluble

  3. Substance with a single homogenous particle

  4. None of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A substance which contains two or more different particles is known as mixtures. Example: the Salt solution is made up of two components, salt and water. Therefore, the salt solution is a mixture.


Hence, the correct option is $A$
