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

A _____ is a mixture of two or more substances in a single phase.

  1. Element

  2. Compound

  3. Solution

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

A solution is a mixture of two or more substances in a single phase. At least two substances must be mixed in order to have a solution. Since solutions are mixtures, their compositions may vary over a very wide range. The concentrations may be expressed using a variety of measures.

Which of the following statement is incorrect about mixtures?

  1. A mixture contains two or more substances

  2. Particles in mixtures are of more than one kind

  3. Compounds or elements in a mixture is mixed in any proportion by mass

  4. None of the above

D Correct answer
Explanation

A mixture is a combination of two or more materials, compounds or elements where there is no chemical combination or reaction.

Here materials can be anything for example: compounds, elements etc.

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

Statement (1): Mixture is a chemical combination of two or more elements.
Statement (2): Properties of the constituents of a mixture remain same.

  1. Statement I is true and Statement II is false

  2. Both statement I and II are true and II is not a correct explanation of statement I

  3. Both statement I and II are false

  4. Statement I is false and Statement II is true

  5. Both statement I and II are true and II is a correct explanation of statement I
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The mixture is a combination of two or more elements in such a way that no chemical reaction occurs. So, a mixture is a physical combination of two or more elements.

Properties of the constituents of a mixture remain same. The mixture can be separated back into its original constituents.
So statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct.
So D) is the correct answer.

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

Choose the correct statement from the following.

  1. Liquor ammonia and soda water are examples of liquid-gas type mixtures.

  2. Mixture of coconut oil and water can be separated using separating funnel.

  3. A mixture of iodine and sulphur can be separated using magnetic separation.

  4. A mixture of sand and sawdust can be separated using solvent extraction.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B Correct answer
Explanation

Liquor ammonia is a concentrated solution of ammonia in water due to which, it forms a liquid-gas mixture with soda water(carbon dioxide gas under pressure)


Since coconut oil and water have different densities, they can be separated from each other by using a separating funnel

Since none among iodine and sulphur have magnetic properties, they cannot be separated using magnetic separation

Both sand and sawdust are highly insoluble in all the solvents and they cannot be separated using solvent extraction method

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.

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.
