Questions Related to mix and separate

Brass is an example of a:

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. homogeneous compound.

  2. homogeneous mixture.

  3. heterogeneous mixture.

  4. heterogeneous compound.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Brass is an alloy made up of uniform composition of copper and zinc. It is a homogeneous mixture in which zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties.

Statement: Dissolved particles of a true solution will settle with gravity.


State whether the given statement is true or false.

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Particles of a true solution will settle with gravity. Take an example when mud is dissolved in water and stirred vigorously, particles of mud are distributed evenly in water. After some time, the particles of this solution settle underwater due to the influence of gravity.


Hence, the given statement is $\text{true}$

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water, it is:

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. a homogeneous solid in liquid mixture

  2. a heterogeneous liquid in liquid mixture

  3. a homogeneous liquid in liquid mixture

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water.It is a homogenous liquid in  liquid mixture.


The metals present in brass are___and____.

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. Iron, Zinc

  2. Copper, Tin

  3. Copper, Zinc

  4. Aluminium, Magnesium

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Brass consists of two elements: Copper and Zinc. The ratios of these can vary greatly; however, they are a solid mixture and are homogeneous. 

Which of the following mixtures will be the most difficult to separate?

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. Iron filings + sand

  2. Sand + water

  3. Saw dust + stones

  4. Nitrogen + hydrogen

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nitrogen (N2) form ammonia (NH3) by a reaction with hydrogen (H2) using a metal catalyst under high temperatures and pressures. It is a chemical combination reaction. Hence the mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen is difficult to separate because a new product is formed.

Why is sugar a mixture?

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. Because the composition is not fixed

  2. Because it's composition is fixed

  3. Because it is crystalline in nature

  4. Because it is soluble in water

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When two or more substances are mixed in any ratio, a mixture is formed.

Why alloys are always considered as mixtures?

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. They have a fixed composition

  2. They shows the properties of its constituents

  3. They can be seperated into its constituents by physical method

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Alloys are homologous mixtures of metals and cannot be separated into its constituents by physical methods. It is still considered a mixture because it shows the property of its constituents and can have variable composition.


Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$

The solute particles in a true solution are:

chemistry mix and separate different types of mixtures homogenous and heterogenous mixtures all about mixtures

  1. settle down

  2. do not settle down

  3. floats on the surface

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The some particles in a true solution do not settle down a true solution is clear and transparent. It do not scatter light.
