Which of the following is a pure gas?

  1. Ntural gas

  2. Water gas

  3. Laughing gas

  4. Coal gas
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Pure gas is not a mixture.


Natural gas consists of a mixture of gases like methane, higher alkanes, carbon dioxide etc. So it is not a pure gas.

Similarly, water gas is a mixture of $CO, H _2S$
Coal gas is a mixture of $H _2,CH _4,CO$
But laughing gas is only $N _2O$, So it is pure gas.


Hence, the correct option is $C$

Each component of a ______ retains its individual properties.

  1. Compound

  2. Element

  3. Mixture

  4. Solute
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Matter that consists of two or more substances which may be elements, compounds or both mixed together physically in any proportion, but not chemically combined is called as a mixture. Each component of a mixture retains its individual properties. 

For example, we could mix various proportions of hydrogen and oxygen gas, as long as you do not ignite the mixture, the combination will form a mixture that can be separated.

Mixture is different from a compound. True or false?

  1. True

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

A mixture consists of two or more substances which may be elements, compounds or both mixed together physically in any proportion, but not chemically combined. However, a compound consists of two or more elements that are chemically combined in a fixed proportion. Hence, a compound is different from a mixture.
