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

$3$ litre of mixture of propane $(C {3}H _{8})$ $ butane $(C{4}H_{10})$ on complete combustion gives $10$ litre $CO_{2}$. Find the composition of mixture.

  1. $C _{3}H _{8}2L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 1L$
  2. $C _{3}H _{8}3L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 0L$
  3. $C _{3}H _{8}\ 1.5L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 1.5L$
  4. $C _{3}H _{8}\ 0L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 3L$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Let x be the volume of propane and y be the volume of butane. We have x + y = 3. The combustion reactions are C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O and C4H10 + 6.5O2 -> 4CO2 + 5H2O. Thus, 3x + 4y = 10. Solving these equations gives x = 2 and y = 1.

An aqueous solution containing $1g$ of urea boils at $100.25^ {o}C$. The aqueous solution containing $3g$ of glucose in the same volume will boil at-

  1. $100.75^ {o}C$
  2. $100.5^ {o}C$
  3. $100^ {o}C$
  4. $100.25^ {o}C$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The boiling point elevation depends on the molality of the solution. Urea (molar mass 60) and glucose (molar mass 180) have different molar masses. 1g urea is 1/60 moles, while 3g glucose is 3/180 = 1/60 moles. Since the number of moles is the same in the same volume, the molality is identical, resulting in the same boiling point elevation.

Mixture is a physical combination of two or more pure substances.

  1. True

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

Mixture, a physical combination of two or more pure substances. A mixture is distinguished from a compound, which is formed by the chemical combination of two or more pure substances in a fixed, definite proportion. 

It should be noted that the components of a mixture retain their own chemical properties and may be present in any proportion.

Gunpowder is an example of a__________.

  1. compound

  2. mixture

  3. element

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Gunpowder is an explosive mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulphur in ratio 75 : 15: 10 used in time fuses, blasting and fireworks. 
It is obtained by mixing compounds so it is not a compound or an element.

A true solution (or simply a solution) is a homogeneous mixture, in which the solute and solvent molecules cannot be distinguished even under a microscope.

  1. True

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

A true solution (or simply a solution) is a homogeneous mixture, i.e., in a true solution, the solute and solvent molecules cannot be distinguished even under a microscope because the size of the particle is very small.

Which among the following statement(s) is/are true?

  1. Brass is an element

  2. Dry ice is a mixture

  3. Aerated drink, e.g., coca cola is a mixture

  4. Diesel is a mixture
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C,D Correct answer
Explanation

A ) Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc.
B) Dry ice, sometimes referred to as "cardice" (chiefly British chemists), is the solid form of carbon dioxide, so it is a compound.
C) Aerated drink would be anything that would have fizz (gas) filled in it. For example, your pepsi, coke, thums up, mirinda etc.
D) Diesel is mixture of many hydrocarbons.
Options C & D are correct.

In a mixture, constituents exhibit:

  1. similar properties

  2. only those properties which are characteristic to the mixture.

  3. their own properties

  4. no properties
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Impure substances are commonly called mixtures. A mixture is a material containing two or more elements or compounds that are in close contact and are mixed in any proportion. The constituents of mixtures exhibit their individual properties. These constituents can be separated by physical means.

The alloy bronze contains Copper and Tin. This is a:

  1. homogeneous mixture

  2. heterogeneous mixture

  3. solid solution of two immiscible metals

  4. both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Generally, an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and which exhibits metallic bonding characteristics. It may be either homogeneous (eg a solid solution; i.e. single phase; e.g brass) or heterogeneous ( a mixture of metallic phases e. g. Steel— the iron/carbon system)
