Salt can be obtained by ___________ of sea water.

  1. sublimation

  2. cooling

  3. evaporation

  4. heating

C Correct answer
Explanation

On evaporation of seawater in shallow pools, salt along with impurities remain behind. Impured salt is taken in a tank and its saturated solution is prepared. In a saturated solution of salt, HCl vapours are passed. Chloride ions being common to both, it's concentration increases, and NaCl gets precipitated which is free from impurities.

The process of forming large crystals of pure substances from their solutions is known as __________.

  1. evaporation

  2. purification

  3. condensation

  4. crystallisation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The process of forming large crystals of pure substances from their solutions is known as Crystallization. The principle of crystallization is concerned with the thermodynamic conditions of crystallization and the kinetics of crystal nucleation and growth.
Crystallization is the physical transformation of a liquid solution or gas to a crystal which is a solid with an ordered internal arrangement of molecules, ions or atoms.

Crystallisation is an example of ____________.

  1. physical change

  2. biological change

  3. chemical change

  4. fundamental change
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The process of formation of solid crystals from a homogeneous solution is called crystallization. It is a physical change. Crystallization is the solidification of atoms or molecules into a highly structured form called a crystal. It can also refer to the solid-liquid separation and purification technique in which mass transfer occurs from a liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase.

For example Salt we get from seawater can have many impurities in it. To remove these impurities, the process of crystallization is used.

Hence, the correct option is $A$

A synthetic indicator phenolphthalein gives _____ colour in acidic solution.

  1. red

  2. blue

  3. pink

  4. colourless
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Phenolphthalein [3,3-Bis (4- hydroxyphenyl)- 2 benzofuran- 1-one] is often used as an indicator in acid-base titrations. It turns colourless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. Phenolphthalein is slightly soluble in water and usually dissolved in alcohols for use in experiments. It is a weak acid which can loose $H^{+}$ ions in solution.

The constituents of a heterogeneous mixture are X, Y and Z. 
If mixture of X and Y taken separately then, X can be separated using magnetic separation from Y. If mixture Y and Z is taken then it can be separated using distillation method.

Which of the following mixture can be X, Y, Z?

  1. Iron, salt, water.

  2. Sulphur, carbon disulphide, water.

  3. Gun powder, common salt, water.

  4. Iodine, sand, alcohol.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Iron (X) is magnetic and can be separated from salt (Y). Salt (Y) and water (Z) form a solution that can be separated by distillation. This matches the description.

  1. Sedimentation

  2. Sublimation

  3. Magnetic separation

  4. Solvent extraction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonium chloride sublimes on heating therefore it is easy to remove it by sublimation from a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride.
