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

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

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)

(a) Miscible liquids (p) Distillation
(b) Immiscible liquids (q) Crystallization
(c) Pure copper sulphate  from an impure sample (r) Sublimation
(d) Salt and ammonium chloride (s) Separating funnel

  1. (a) - (q), (b) - (s), (c) - (p), (d) - (r)

  2. (a) - (p), (b) - (s), (c) - (q), (d) - (r)

  3. (a) - (r), (b) - (s), (c) - (p), (d) - (q)

  4. (a) - (r), (b) - (s), (c) - (q), (d) - (p)

B Correct answer
Explanation

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
Salt and ammonium chloride can be separated using this.
Crystallization is also a chemical solid-liquid separation technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs.
Pure copper sulphate from an impure sample.
Distillation is a process of separating the component substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation. Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components of the mixture.
A separating funnel is a glass funnel with a tap at the bottom. A separating funnel is a separation technique that is used for two liquids that do not dissolve in each other.

A gray solid when heated vaporised to form pure white crystals on the cooler parts of the test tube and heavily, black solid as the residue. It is likely that the original solid is :

  1. an element

  2. a metal

  3. a pure compound

  4. a mixture

D Correct answer
Explanation

Heating is a physical means to separate a mixture of two substances which are not chemically together as in a compound so they are separated by heating.
