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

Mixture can be separated, and kind of separation method depends on kind of:

  1. mixure it is

  2. solution it is

  3. molecule it is

  4. compound it is
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 in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions, and colloids.

The individual substances in a mixture can be separated using different methods, depending on the type of mixture. These methods include filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography.

When a gas dissolves in liquid, there is decrease in volume thus:

  1. increase of pressure will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid

  2. increase of pressure will not favour the dissolution of gas in liquid

  3. increase of pressure has no affect on the dissolution of gas in liquid

  4. increase of temperature will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
When a gas dissolves in liquid, there is decrease in volume thus increase of pressure will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid. Initially total volume decreases, the pressure decreases. Now when pressure is increased, the system will shift in a direction that will decrease the pressure to nullify the effect of increase in pressure. This is through the dissolution of gas in liquid. This is similar to Le-chatellier's principle for chemical equilibrium.
Note:
Decrease of temperature will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid.
Multiple choice chemistry separation of substances classification of mixtures mixtures: examples and properties types of solutions

Two immiscible liquids can be separated by using: 

  1. evaporation disc

  2. separating funnel

  3. filter funnel

  4. can not be separated
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A separating funnel is specifically designed to separate two immiscible liquids based on their density differences. The denser liquid settles at the bottom and can be drained.

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

Substances are separated, because the :

  1. harmful substance can be removed

  2. non-useful substance can be removed

  3. useful substance, which we require separately

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

Separation of a mixture is done in order to :


(i) remove impurities or harmful substances.


(ii) to get pure substance.

(iii) to separate the components of the mixture and get the useful substance which is required, separately.


Hence the option D is correct.
